Heat a skillet over medium heat and add chorizo, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chorizo from the skillet and drain excess fat, leaving a small amount in the pan.

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Whisk eggs in a bowl, season with salt and black pepper, and pour into the skillet.

Scramble eggs with the vegetables until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the cooked chorizo back into the skillet and mix well.

Warm flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.

Spoon the chorizo and egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.

Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and cilantro, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form burritos.

Optional: Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish and bake at 350°F until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Serve with sour cream and avocado on the side.
