Soyrizo y Papas Breakfast Burritos (Vegetarian)

Soyrizo y Papas Breakfast Burritos (Vegetarian)
served with steamed broccoli and a clump of grapes
Recipe from Vegetarian Times
Husband-Tested in Alice’s Kitchen
Makes 4 servings

When you’re looking for a little spice in your life, make this delicious dish.  Soyrizo is a spicy meat substitute made from soy protein.  I love the flavor, the texture and also the fact that it’s not greasy.  It’s also vegan, although this particular recipe is not because of the eggs. (It’s also gluten-free, nitrite-free, non-GMO with no preservatives.) Soyrizo can be used to make tacos, soups, chili or any spicy Mexican style dish.

3 teaspoons canola oil or olive oil
1 medium russet potato, diced
8 oz. soy chorizo (Soyrizo)
Cooking spray
4 large eggs
4 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed (I used blue corn tortillas.)
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet (I would recommend a non-stick skillet.) over medium-high heat.  Arrange the diced potato in a single layer in the skillet.  Cook for 7 minutes, or until golden, turning once.  Move the potato to the side of the pan.  Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the opposite side of the pan.  Then add then soy chorizo; cook for 1 minutes, crumbling with a spatula.  Stir the potato and soy chorizo together; cook 2 minutes more, or until the potato is tender.  Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.  Wipe out the skillet, spray with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.  Crack eggs in the pan, and cook 2 minutes or until the whites are set, turning once for over-easy.  Lay the eggs in the centers of warmed tortillas.  Divide the potato mixture among the tortillas and top with scallions.  Serve them open-face or roll them up burrito style.  Serve with sour cream and/or salsa, if desired.
