Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chorizo sausage
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 flour tortillas (large)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup salsa (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain off any excess grease and set the chorizo aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the black beans in a small saucepan or microwave, and prepare any optional salsa if using.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, add a spoonful of cooked chorizo, a couple of tablespoons of black beans, a portion of scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. If using salsa, add a spoonful now.
Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
If freezing for later, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, remove the wrap, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Serve immediately with additional salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream if desired.
