Company-Special Burritos Are Terrific Any Way You Fold Them

When it comes to the assembly of these company-special burritos, it’s all in the folds, because the folds are what make a burrito a burrito and not a taco, tostada or flauta.

Simply place a lettuce leaf atop flour tortillas, add the spicy chorizo filling and a bit of Jack cheese and start folding.

First fold the bottom side of the tortilla over the filling; next fold each of the sides toward the center and overlap to form a pocket that is easy to pick up and eat. Sprinkle with chopped tomato and avocado.

Chorizo is a tantalizing and convenient meat choice for this dish. The spicy Mexican sausage is available in semi-dry, cured and fresh varieties, and it is distinguished by its coarsely cut meat mixed with Mexican seasonings and stuffed into a casing.

1/4 cup chopped onion

4 eggs, beaten
