Preparation Method Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk together the eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the green bell pepper and red onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the black beans, Monterey Jack cheese, diced tomatoes, and salsa. Cook until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes more.
- To assemble the burritos, spread a layer of the egg mixture onto a tortilla. Top with the chorizo, black bean mixture, cilantro, and avocado slices. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla tightly.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
