Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook chorizo in a medium heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is brown and fat is rendered, about 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to a medium bowl. Drain all but 1 Tbsp. drippings from pan; set pan aside.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Divide tortillas between 2 baking sheets; sprinkle half of cheese over, dividing equally; set aside. Heat drippings in reserved skillet over medium-low heat; add eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just set, about 4 minutes.

    Step 3

    Cook tortillas until warmed through and cheese begins to melt, about 20 seconds.

    Step 4

    Working quickly, top tortillas with chorizo and eggs, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with remaining half of cheese and cilantro. Working one at a time, fold in top and bottom ends of tortillas, then roll up, starting from an unfolded side, into burritos.
