Ingredients

• 8 ounces chorizo sausage
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 4 10-inch all-purpose flour tortillas
• 1 large avocado
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chorizo sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.

Step 3

While the chorizo cooks, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, and milk in a medium bowl.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, and wipe the skillet clean.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds.

Step 7

Gently fold the eggs from the outer edge to the center, repeating until the eggs are just cooked through for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas by placing them directly on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and microwave for 20 seconds.

Step 9

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth.

Step 10

Assemble the burritos by placing a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1/4 of the mashed avocado onto the center of the tortilla.

Step 11

Layer with a portion of scrambled eggs, a quarter of the chorizo, 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and a couple of tablespoons of salsa.

Step 12

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 13

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to completely enclose the filling, creating a burrito.

Step 14

Repeat the assembly process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 15

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm and enjoy later.
