Add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the same skillet and incorporate this with the chorizo fat. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and pepper mix and cook the eggs for around 8 to 10 minutes.

Sprinkle the shredded Pepper jack and cheddar cheese into the scrambled eggs until the cheese melts, then transfer them to a bowl.

Add another tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the same skillet and cook the shredded potatoes with a teaspoon of kosher salt and pepper for 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

To assemble the burritos, evenly divide the cooked chorizo, cheesy scrambled eggs, and cooked potatoes across the middle of the warm tortillas, then top with the sliced avocado.

Using both hands, fold the edges of the warm tortilla in and roll the bottom of the tortilla over the filling and tuck the tortilla under it, rolling the tortilla to complete the burrito.

Clean the skillet and set it at medium-high heat. Once hot, place the burritos seam side down and cook for 2 minutes until nicely browned, then flip them over, cooking for another minute.
