Bean and Chorizo Burritos

This toss together recipe came about when I was craving Mexican food and had just came home from work.  I didn't have a lot of time to throw dinner together, but I knew what I wanted!  So, I checked the fridge and the pantry and here is what I came up with! 

Ingredients:

- 2 lbs. Chorizo
- 1 can Black beans, drained
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 3 medium onions ( or less if you're not an onion freak like me!)
- Tortillas

Directions:

1.  Toss your chorizo into your pan.  You won't need any oil or butter...chorizo has plenty of grease aka flavor ;-)  I break mine up with a fork. 


2.  Chop up your onions and toss 'em in the pan with the chorizo and allow the chorizo and onions to cook.

3.  Drain and rinse your beans and toss them into the pan with the onion and chorizo.  Allow the mixture to come together, cooking for about 15 minutes.



4.  Remove the mixture to a bowl and begin assembling your burritos.  I just take the tortilla, place some chorizo filling inside and sprinkle on some cheese. 



5.  Next, place your burrito on a cooking sheet and continue until you've made all the burritos you need.  Now bake until the tortilla is golden and crunchy.  Usually for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.



Here's the final product.....

So simple, but so flavorful!  You can garnish with your favorite burritos toppings, or just chow down as I did on the burrito alone, lol.  Enjoy!
