How to Make Chorizo And White Cheddar Breakfast Burritos

  1. **Make the Black Bean Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed and drained black beans, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. **Prepare the Filling:** In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  3. **Scramble the Eggs:** Add the eggs to the skillet and scramble until cooked to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
  4. **Cook the Chorizo:** Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine with the scrambled eggs.
  5. **Warm the Tortillas:** Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 2 minutes, or until heated through and pliable.
  6. **Assemble the Burritos:** Spoon about 1/4 of the egg-chorizo mixture into the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded white cheddar cheese.
  7. **Roll and Serve:** Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up burrito style. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  8. **Serve:** Serve the burritos immediately, topped with black bean salsa and sour cream, if desired.
