His architectural career was mostly focused on Granada, where he designed the sacrament chapels of the cathedral and charterhouse. The latter was one of his most elaborate works, which he called a "precious jewel" and boasted that there was nothing like it anywhere else in Europe. He also designed the very elaborate camarin of the El Paular Charterhouse in Segovia. Hurtado Izquierdo became the focus of a school of architect-designers and posthumously had a significant influence on the development of Mexican church decorative architecture. His collaborators included the brothers Jerónimo and Teodosio Sánchez Rueda, Francisco Javier and Tomás Jerónimo Pedraxas.
