Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cooking the frozen hash brown patties or tater tots according to package instructions—aim for a golden-brown color, which takes about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo, and break it up as it cooks. Add diced onion and sauté until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. In the same skillet with the drippings, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook gently while stirring until just set and fluffy, around 3 minutes.
  4. Take a tortilla, place a hash brown in the center, add scrambled eggs, chorizo, and top with cheese.
  5. Roll up the burrito, tucking the sides in, and cook seam-side down in a skillet until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes.
  6. Slice the burritos in half for presentation and serve with your favorite salsa.
