Sometimes it’s easier to not over-complicate things. This is literally a burrito with an egg tortilla.
If I could make this in an AirBNB in Mexico, you can make it in your home kitchen.
Be sure to use only the highest-quality, free-range, hormone-free, certified organic refried beans available to you.
It’s a joke. They’re smashed beans in a can. Use whatever you want.
Ground chorizo meat can be found at most Latin markets. If you can’t find ground meat, simply buy sausages and remove the casings.
If you happen to be in Edmonton, check out El Chorizo Latino. This stuff is the business.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
Season everything to taste with salt and pepper.
Disclaimer: Though unlikely, eating undercooked eggs can cause illness.
