Ingredients
- ½ lb dried black beans
- 7 cups water separated
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¾ tsp chili powder
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 cloves garlic husk removed and smashed
- ½ medium onion
- 1 lb ground chorizo
- 1 jalapeño seeds removed and minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tsp kosher salt separated
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- ½ cup diced onion
- cilantro as desired
- 8 extra-large tortillas
Instructions
For the black beans
- In a 6-quart kettle, combine the beans, 3 cups water, and 1 tablespoon salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
- Once soaking is complete, drain and rinse the beans. Add the beans back to the kettle. Pour in 4 cups water, cumin, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic cloves, onion, and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the beans are tender, 60-90 minutes.
For the chorizo and eggs
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up any large pieces. Continue cooking until browned and cooked through, 8-12 minutes. Remove the chorizo.
- Sauté the prepared jalapeño in the oil left from the chorizo, 2 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, the remaining 1 tsp salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add the butter to the skillet with the jalapeño, then pour in the eggs. Cook over low heat until they are just set but still moist, 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and assemble the burritos.
For the burritos
- Working with one tortilla, add ⅓ cup cooked black beans as a base layer. Top with eggs, chorizo, cheese, diced onion, and cilantro. Bring the sides in and tightly roll the burrito up.
- To sear, heat a skillet over medium-high with 1 tablespoon oil. Add folded burrito to the skillet and cook until brown, 1 minute. Turn and repeat, then remove from skillet and serve. Continue until all burritos are made.
