Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the frozen hash brown patties according to the package instructions, ideally in an air fryer at 400°F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Mexican chorizo for about 5–6 minutes, then add in diced white onion and sauté for about 3 more minutes until translucent.
  3. In the same skillet, whisk together the large eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Assemble the burritos by placing a crispy hash brown, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and chorizo-onion mixture on a warm tortilla.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides, and cook seam-side down on medium heat for about 2 minutes until golden.
  6. Slice cooked burritos in half for presentation and serve immediately with salsa or avocado slices.
