Ingredients
– 1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
– ½ cup diced seeded tomatoes (from 1 to 2 tomatoes)
– 1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
– ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
– 4 large eggs
– ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ½ pound spicy sausage (such as chorizo, Italian, or preferred variety), removed from casings
– 1⅓ cups (6 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
– 4 (10-inch) burrito-size flour tortillas
– Vegetable oil for cooking
Instructions
1-First, make the avocado-tomato salsa. Combine all the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl and mix them well, then set it aside. Next, in another bowl, whisk the eggs with ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika and ¼ teaspoon salt. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the spicy sausage, cooking it until browned, which takes about 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to move the sausage to a plate, keeping the drippings in the pan.
2-Cooking and Assembling the Burritos: Reduce the heat to low and add the whisked eggs to the pan, scrambling them until just cooked through. Transfer the eggs to a plate and clean the pan for reuse. To assemble, spoon about ¼ cup of the avocado salsa onto each of the 4 flour tortillas, then add a quarter of the sausage, a quarter of the eggs, and about ⅓ cup cheese. Fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly, tucking in the edges.
3- Lightly coat the pan with vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat. Place the burritos seam side down in the pan, cover, and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip them and cook the other side until golden. Serve warm and enjoy the fresh flavors. For extra tips, learn about avocado benefits to see why it’s a star ingredient.
