1
Prepare the Chorizo
In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it is browned and fully cooked. Stir occasionally to break it apart.
2
Cook the Eggs
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Once the chorizo is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are set.
3
Heat the Refried Beans
In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5 minutes.
4
Prepare the Avocado
While the beans are heating, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork and season with salt to taste.
5
Assemble the Torta
Once everything is prepared, take a corn tortilla and spread a layer of refried beans on one side. Top with the chorizo and eggs mixture, a few slices of pickled jalapeños, a dollop of mashed avocado, and crumbled queso fresco. Fold the tortilla in half to form a torta.
6
Serve
Repeat the assembly for the remaining tortillas. Serve the tortas warm with additional pickled jalapeños on the side if desired.
