Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces spicy chorizo, casing removed
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- ½ cup fresh salsa
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (canola or vegetable)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: hot sauce or jalapeños for extra heat
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat, leaving some oil in the pan.
- In a bowl, lightly beat the 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the same skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently and continuously, scraping the pan bottom to create soft curds. Cook until just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- Wrap the flour tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds, or warm individually in a dry skillet for 10 seconds each side until pliable.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon about ¼ cup of black beans in the center, followed by a scoop of scrambled eggs, a generous spoonful of chorizo, shredded cheddar (about ¼ cup), sliced avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of green onions.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Optionally, toast the burrito seam side down in the skillet for 1-2 minutes to seal and crisp the outside.
Notes
Drain excess oil from chorizo to avoid greasiness. Use room temperature eggs for fluffier scramble. Warm tortillas before assembling for pliability. Toast burrito seam side down to seal and add crispness. Avoid overloading burrito to prevent spilling. Can prepare filling ahead and reheat burritos in skillet or oven.
