1

Cut open the chorizo package with scissors and squeeze the sausage out into a skillet.

2

Heat the skillet over medium heat and then reduce to medium-low to render the fat from the chorizo, cooking for about 15-20 minutes.

3

While the chorizo cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl using a one-handed technique, and whisk them lightly.

4

Once the chorizo has cooked and rendered its fat, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the chorizo.

5

Let the eggs sit for about 30 seconds to a minute before stirring to allow them to cook slightly.

6

Stir the eggs and chorizo together until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer shiny, then turn off the heat.

7

Heat the tortillas in a separate skillet to make them pliable before assembling the burrito.
