The inspiration for these handheld burritos came from those served at the Santa Fe Farmers Market, in New Mexico, where they are truly the early bird's reward—feasting on a portable breakfast while scoring the pick of the produce is a magical start to the day. Though either Mexican or Spanish chorizo would work, we prefer the smoothness of the Mexican sausage and the way its flavor, rich with chiles, soaks into the potatoes. Avocado adds a fresh, bright note.

Cooks' Note:

If you can't find Mexican chorizo, you can use Spanish chorizo. Peel off casings and finely chop chorizo. Cook in small skillet over medium heat until warmed through and some of fat is rendered, about 2 minutes. Add potato and proceed with recipe.
