Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound chorizo sausage bulk pork sausage
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream optional for serving
  • 1 small bunch cilantro chopped, optional for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients, cooking equipment and heat source as directed. Use a large skillet or Dutch oven. For cooking over a camp fire, use cast iron or aluminum campfire cooking equipment. For propane stoves, a normal frying pan is fine.
  • Brown the pork chorizo sausage over medium heat.
    Camp Cooking Tip: Chorizo sausage has lots of spices that give the meat a brownish-red color when it's raw so be careful not to undercook it.
  • Add the onion to the pot, cook till softened.
  • Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper, then gently fold them into the sausage mixture. Cook until the eggs are almost set.
  • Then, stir in the cheese to fully incorporate it until it is melted.
  • Place one tortilla on a large piece of foil, spread half the egg mixture over the tortilla then top with a second tortilla (you won't need to fold tortillas because you are using the second tortilla to make the top.) Bring up foil and wrap tightly. Repeat with two more tortillas and remaining egg mixture.
  • Place foil packets over low-medium heat of campfire or stove. Cook on one side till toasted and golden brown, then flip to toast second side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. The packets and steam are hot, carefully open the packet to check and serve.
  • Slice into quarters, top with sour cream and cilantro, if desired. Serve hot.
