BURROS

Method

BURROS

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and rendering its fat, about 6-8 minutes. If the fat is insufficient, add a splash of olive oil as needed.

  2. 2

    Stir in the diced onion and cook until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle in cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute to bloom the spices.

  5. 5

    Add the beans to the pan and cook until heated through, mashing lightly with the back of a spoon to help the beans meld with the chorizo, 3-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; squeeze a lime wedge over the filling if desired and stir gently.

  7. 7

    To assemble, spoon the chorizo-bean filling into warmed tortillas. If using, top with shredded cheese and salsa or pico de gallo, garnish with cilantro, and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.
