CHORIZO BREAKFAST WRAPS
Quick marinated cherry tomatoes, a coriander avocado mash, soft scrambled egg and a little fried chorizo for a slightly spicy and meaty bite, all encased in a toasted, folded soft tortilla. If savoury breakfasts are your jam, you need these Chorizo Breakfast Wraps!
Equipment
- Chef’s knife + chopping board
- Prep bowls + fork and spoons
- Small frying pan
Ingredients
THE MARINATED TOMATOES
- 200 g cherry tomatoes chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ½ tablespoon fresh coriander finely chopped
- Salt & black pepper to taste
THE AVOCADO MASH
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- ½ tablespoon coriander finely chopped
- A little sea salt
THE CHORIZO
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 130 g diced chorizo
THE SCRAMBLED EGG
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Generous knob of butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
THE MARINATED TOMATOES
- Prepare these first, so they have time to marinate. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss well. Set aside.
THE AVOCADO MASH
- Mash the avocado flesh with the back of a fork on a chopping board. Transfer to a bowl and add the lime juice, coriander and the sea salt. Mix together well.
THE CHORIZO
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan, over a medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, just until it starts to crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towel.
THE SCRAMBLED EGG
- Combine the eggs, milk and a little salt & pepper in a bowl. Hand beat using a mini wire hand whisk or fork. Over a medium-low heat, add the knob of butter to a large frying pan. When it’s melted use a silicone brush to coat the bottom of the pan with it. Add the egg mixture. After a few seconds, start to stir the egg. Continue to stir most of the time until it’s scrambled, being careful not over cook, it should still be glossy when done.
TO ASSEMBLE
- Starting at the middle of the tortilla slice down vertically once to the edge. Then spoon on the avocado into the bottom right hand corner and using the back of the spoon smooth it all over that quarter, leaving a little gap all the way round. Then in the quarter above that, lay on your marinated tomatoes, allowing the liquid to drain from each spoonful. Again leave a little gap all round. Then move to the quarter to the left of that and add on your chorizo. Then on the quarter underneath that add on the scrambled eggs, leaving a little gap all round. Next, fold up the quarters anti-clockwise from the avocado side round to the scrambled egg quarter (watch the video in the above blog post for how-to).
TOASTING
- Then, you can wipe round the frying pan you cooked your eggs in or use another pan to toast the wraps. Heat the pan over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add in your 4 tortillas next to each other to form a circle. Cook for 45 seconds - 1 minute, until golden brown on each side.
Baby & Toddler
Serve de-constructed to little ones. Cut their tortilla into ½ inch strips. Their scrambled egg can be served as is, don’t add any salt. Do not give them Chorizo unless 12 months +. Serve their tomatoes and avocado according to their age & stage:
6-9 months Cut their avocado into strips and roll it in some desiccated coconut or hemp seeds. Use a regular tomato and slice it into wedges, no more than ½ inch thick.
9-12 months Dice their avocado into small, bite-size pieces no more than 1cm in size. Alternatively, mash the avocado and help them load it onto a spoon. Quarter small cherry tomatoes or cut into eights if larger.
12 month + Offer diced, bite-size pieces of avocado. Again, quarter small cherry tomatoes or cut into eights if larger.
YOUNGER CHILDREN & FUSSY EATERS
If they don’t like avocados and tomatoes, make theirs a simple scrambled egg and chorizo wrap, rolling it instead of folding it. If they like tomatoes and avocado but you’re unsure about the coriander, leave some tomatoes and avocado mash plain for their wrap.
