Instructions

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chorizo for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.

  3. Scramble the eggs over medium-low heat until soft and just set. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
  5. Lay each warm tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  6. Spread sour cream down the center of each tortilla.
  7. Layer the black beans, scrambled eggs, and cooked chorizo on top.
  8. Add the shredded cheese, fresh salsa, and sliced avocado.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  10. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
  11. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.

⭐ Tips

  • Warm the tortilla before wrapping — a cold tortilla will crack when folded
  • Add pickled jalapeños inside for an extra spicy kick
  • Wrap the burrito tightly in aluminum foil to keep it warm if eating on the go
  • Swap chorizo for sautéed bell peppers and mushrooms for a delicious vegetarian version
