"Breakfast" and "burrito" are perhaps the two greatest words that can be put side by side. Our version with chorizo-spiced pork delivers on that promise and then goes above and beyond. Bursting with scrambled eggs, smoky poblano pepper, and cheddar-jack cheese, you'll be shocked so much flavor fits inside a tortilla. Along with crispy plantain tostones, this Southwest-style breakfast portends a great start to your day.

Prepare the Ingredients
Peel plantain and cut into 1/2” slices. Stem poblano pepper, core, and cut into 1/2" dice (remove seeds for less spice). Peel and halve onion. Cut halves into small 1/4” dice. Mince garlic. Stem and coarsely chop cilantro.
-
Make the Tostones
Line a plate with a paper towel. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add sliced plantains to hot pan and cook 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Remove to plate and let cool slightly. Once cooled, lay slices on a clean surface and, using the bottom of a clean pan, smash plantains to 1/4” thickness. Return to pan, replenishing oil if necessary, and cook an additional 4 minutes per side, or until deep golden brown. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and place in oven until ready to plate.
-
Cook the Pork
While tostones cook, heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add garlic, ground pork, and seasoning blend to hot pan and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees. Stir in cilantro and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Transfer to a plate or bowl, and wipe pan clean.
-
Cook Veggies and Eggs
Heat 1 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat in pan used for pork. Add poblano pepper (to taste) and red onion to hot pan and cook 2 minutes, while stirring, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Add butter, melt, and add liquid eggs. Use a rubber spatula to constantly scrape along the bottom of the pan until eggs are set and a little wet, 2-3 minutes. Remove from burner, season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper, and transfer to a plate or bowl. Wipe pan clean.
-
Assemble the Burrito
Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven 5 minutes, or until warm and pliable. Alternatively, place tortillas in microwave for 20 seconds, or until warm. Lay tortillas on a clean surface. Place veggie scramble, cheese, and cooked pork in center of tortillas. Fold sides of burrito in and gently roll burrito away from you while keeping filling tucked in.
-
Plate the Dish
Place pan used for eggs over medium heat and add burritos, seam side down. Cook 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and sealed. Carefully flip and repeat process on other side. Slice burrito in half and serve with tostones.
