    Make the Burritos


    1. Cut 2 avocados into strips, then reserve.


    The avocado is cut at the end because it oxidizes rapidly.


    1. Heat in the microwave 1 cup of refried beans for approximately 1½ minutes, until they are well heated; then reserve.
    2. Heat on a griddle over medium heat 1 extra-large flour tortilla for about 30 seconds per each side, until it is well heated.
    3. Remove the tortilla from the griddle and smear on the tortilla’s center, with a spoon, some of the refried beans that were heated. Also put on the tortilla the following ingredients in the same order as given:
    • Some Grated Cheese that melts.
    • Some of the Chorizo that was cooked.
    • Some dices of the Tomatoes that were cut.
    • Some strips of the Avocados that were chopped.
    • Some of the Lettuce strips that were chopped.
    • Some Mexican Cream.
    • 1 pinch of Salt.


    The cheese is placed in-between the warm beans and the warm chorizo so the heat of these 2 ingredients will melt the cheese.


    1. Fold the tortilla ends inwards and then roll the chorizo burrito as taco; then serve it.
    2. Repeat the same procedure with other 5 extra-large flour tortillas.
