Ingredients
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo casings removed
- 4 egg large
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 flour tortilla large
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- salsa for garnish, fresh salsa; avocado sliced
- avocado for garnish, fresh salsa; avocado sliced
Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chorizo and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo fat and scramble over medium heat until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the eggs and stir to combine. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mixture and allow it to melt.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable. Divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the tortillas and garnish with the salsa and avocados.
- Roll up the tortillas to form burritos, folding in the edges to enclose the filling. Serve immediately while hot.
