Directions:
Prepare the spicy pineapple salsa:
1. Prepare the salsa: cut the vegetables into large chunks and mix them with the spices and olive oil.
2. Put everything in the oven at a high temperature (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully roasted.
3. Remove the vegetables from the oven, put them into a blender, and pulse for a few seconds, just long enough so that it resembles a chunky sauce. It’s ok to have different-sized pieces. Refrigerate.
While salsas are typically served cold or at room temperature, some people prefer them warm and that’s totally fine.
How to make the burritos:
Add a little butter to a pan over medium heat.
Sear the diced chorizo sausage, then add the eggs, stirring with a whisk, and cook like regular scrambled eggs.
Spread the cream cheese on the tortilla, and top with lettuce, rice, quartered cherry tomatoes, salsa, and eggs.
Wrap the ends of the tortilla and roll tightly.
