Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

6 large eggs

1 cup cooked chorizo sausage (or turkey sausage for a lighter option)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

1 medium bell pepper, diced (red or green for a pop of color)

1 small onion, diced

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup salsa (your favorite, mild or spicy)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the onion and bell pepper, chop the spinach, and slice the avocado. Set aside.

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add the Chorizo: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, add the cooked chorizo sausage to the other side, and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, mixing with the vegetables.

        Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet over the sausage and veggies. Gently stir until the eggs are scrambled and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped spinach in the last minute of cooking to wilt it slightly.

          Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the egg and sausage mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and a few slices of avocado.

            Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the edges as you go to create a tight burrito. Ensure the filling is well-sealed inside.

              Heat and Crisp (Optional): For extra crunch, place the rolled burritos back in the skillet, seam-side down, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden-brown and crispy.

                Serve: Cut the burritos in half and serve with a side of salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for garnish. Enjoy!
