Instructions
1
In a large skillet, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until it is lightly browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set the chorizo aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the ZATARAIN'SĀ® Dirty Rice Mix and the cooked chorizo. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it stand for 5 minutes.
3
While the rice is resting, beat the eggs in a large bowl. In a separate nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook them, stirring frequently, until they are firm and fully set.
4
Add the scrambled eggs to the rice and chorizo mixture, and gently mix to combine all the ingredients.
5
To assemble, spoon a generous portion of the rice and egg mixture onto each warmed tortilla. Top with salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Carefully fold the tortillas into burritos, ensuring the filling is enclosed, and serve immediately.
