🛒 Ingredients

• 6 oz chorizo (casing removed)

• 4 eggs

• 2 oz shredded cheddar cheese

• 2 brown rice tortillas

• 2 tbsp cilantro (roughly chopped, optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the chorizo 

   In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it apart until browned and cooked through (7–9 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Lightly wipe the skillet with a paper towel.

2. Scramble the eggs 

   In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the shredded cheese. Return the skillet to medium heat and scramble the mixture, stirring often until fluffy and cooked to your liking.

3. Assemble the wraps 

   Spoon the scrambled eggs into the tortillas, top with cooked chorizo and chopped cilantro. Fold and enjoy warm.

Notes

• Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven.

• Serving size: One tortilla = one serving.

• Dairy-free option: Skip the cheese or use dairy-free shredded cheese or nutritional yeast.

• Optional add-ins: Salsa, avocado, black beans, onions, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
