  • Handful coriander

  • Knob of butter

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 160 deg C/325 deg F/gas mark 3.
  2. Make your scrambled eggs in any way you choose. Once it’s cooked, set it to one side.

  4. Cube the chorizo and dry fry in a frying pan for a few minutes, until the lovely oils are released. Add in the scrambled egg and mix. Add in the chopped jalapenos and stir for several minutes until heated, then turn off the heat.
  5. Spread each of the tortillas with a generous portion of chipotle paste. If you like things milder, you can just use a thin layer. Spoon half of the egg and chorizo mix into the middle of the tortilla and fold the edges over to create a wrap. Repeat with t

  8. Use a fish slice or a spatula to lift the cooked burritos onto two plates. Top with the salsa and pair with a glass of deep, fruity Barefoot Zindandel.
