• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 large flour tortillas

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. In the same pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan with the cooked vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
4. Add the cooked chorizo back to the pan with the eggs. Stir to combine.
5. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or in the microwave.
6. To assemble the burritos, spoon a portion of the chorizo and egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to form a burrito.
