Ingredients
- CHORIZO-BLACK BEAN FILLING
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
2 cup yellow onion, peeled, sliced
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 cup spinach, chopped
1 lb. Mexican-style chorizo
1 3/4 cup black beans, cooked, drained, rinsed
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- SCRAMBLED EGGS
9 lg. eggs
1/3 c. + 2 t. whole milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper, black or white, fresh ground, see sub note
1 tablespoon butter
- BURRITOS & SALSA
2 med. avocado, peeled, pitted, ripe, diced 1/4″ (0.64cm)
1 1/2 cup tomato, cored, diced 1/4″ (0.64cm)
2 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh-pressed
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
12 organic flour tortillas, 7-8″ (17.78-20.32cm)
Directions
- PREP & SAUTÉ FILLING
- Cut onion into thin slices.
- Heat butter & oil in a very large skillet on med-low until shimmering, 5 min. Spread onion slices out across skillet and cook slowly, occasionally stirring, until caramelized but not fried, 35 min.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°F, chop spinach, crumble feta cheese for filling and salsa.
- Increase heat to med-high once onions are caramelized, add vinegar, and bring to a boil while stirring onions to loosen browned bits from bottom of pan, 3 min. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Reduce heat to low, add spinach to now-empty skillet, and wilt for 1 min. Drain any excess liquid and add spinach to caramelized onions.
- Increase heat to med-high and brown chorizo, 10 min. Drain on a lint-free towel-lined plate. Stir black beans, chorizo & feta into onion-spinach mixture.
- SCRAMBLE EGGS & PREP SALSA
- Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk in milk, salt & pepper.
- Heat butter in the same now-empty skillet on medium until melted, 2 min. Pour in egg mixture and scramble eggs until cooked through but still glossy, 3 min.
- Dice avocado & tomatoes to ¼” and juice lemon. Mix avocados, tomatoes, lemon juice & feta.
- ASSEMBLE BURRITOS
- Warm one tortilla in a dry skillet to make pliable. Spoon ¼ c. scrambled eggs & ½ c. chorizo-black bean filling onto center of tortilla.
- Roll one end of tortilla over filling using both hands, fold ends in to enclose the filling, and continue to roll as tightly as possible without tearing tortillas, to make a burrito.
- Place burrito in an ovenproof dish keeping warm in oven and repeat with remaining tortillas, scrambled eggs & filling. Serve burritos warm with salsa.
Tips & Tricks

- To make these burritos ahead of time: assemble the burritos as directed, except do not keep them warm in the oven. Instead, cover them and refrigerate until ready to serve. When you are ready to enjoy them, bake the burritos in an oven preheat to 325°F until tortilla edges are crispy and the filling registers 165°F when checked with a thermometer, 35 min. While the burritos are baking, prepare the salsa as directed.
