Ingredients

Flour tortillas (10-inch, large size recommended for easy wrapping)
Large eggs (preferably room temperature for even cooking)
Shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, depending on your taste)
Cooked breakfast sausage or chorizo (optional)
Cooked diced potatoes or hash browns
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Roasted Hatch green chilies (about 1 cup, chopped; fresh or canned)
Yellow onion, finely diced
Garlic cloves, minced (2 cloves)
Chicken broth or vegetable broth (1 cup)
Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
Olive oil or vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, sour cream or Greek yogurt, fresh lime wedges, avocado slices or guacamole

Instructions

Roast and prepare the Hatch green chilies: roast fresh chilies over flame or broiler for 5-7 minutes until charred, steam covered for 10 minutes, peel skins and remove seeds, then chop. If canned, drain and chop.
Make the green chili sauce: heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium saucepan over medium heat, cook diced onion until translucent (~5 minutes), add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
Add chopped Hatch chilies, cumin, and broth; simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Blend sauce slightly, leaving some chunks.
Prepare fillings: cook sausage or chorizo until browned and cooked through, drain on paper towels. Warm diced potatoes or hash browns in same skillet until crispy.
Fry eggs: heat lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, cook eggs sunny-side up or over-easy with runny yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble burritos: warm tortillas to make pliable, layer with potatoes, sausage, shredded cheese, then top with fried egg.
Roll burrito tightly, folding sides to encase filling.
Smother and serve: place burritos on plates, ladle warm Hatch green chili sauce over top, garnish with optional cilantro, sour cream, or avocado slices.

Notes

Roast fresh Hatch chilies for best smoky flavor; use medium-low heat and a non-stick pan to fry eggs with runny yolks; warm tortillas just enough to keep them pliable; assemble and smother burritos just before serving to avoid sogginess; leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
