Preheat oven to 400F. Place the husked and rinsed tomatillos on a baking sheet, and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until they turn army green. Allow them to cool briefly.
2
Transfer the roasted tomatillos, peeled garlic cloves, and a single chipotle to a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste, and if desired for more heat, add the second chipotle and blend again.
BURRITO
3
Increase the oven heat to 425F. Toss the diced potato with chili powder, half of the black pepper, half teaspoon of salt, and olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.
4
While the potato is baking, sauté the chorizo slices over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Set aside when done.
5
In the same skillet, cook onion and jalapeno over medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes or until tender.
6
Add beaten eggs, remainder of salt and pepper to the onion-jalapeno mixture, cooking until eggs are scrambled to desired consistency. Set aside.
7
Assemble the burritos by evenly distributing the egg mix, roasted potatoes, sautéed chorizo, shredded cheese, and freshly blended salsa on each tortilla. Roll tightly.
8
Place the rolled burritos on a heated skillet, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes on each side to crisp up the burrito. Serve hot.
