Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for chouriço or linguiça sausage in this recipe?
You can substitute chouriço or linguiça with other types of spicy sausage, such as Spanish chorizo, Italian sausage (spicy), or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
How should I store leftovers from the chouriço and egg burrito?
Leftover burritos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave in short increments until heated through.

To prevent rubbery eggs, cook them on low to medium-low heat, stirring gently and consistently. If they seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce the heat further and remove the pan from the heat for a moment.
