Chorizo Burritos (or Tacos)

1 package (pound) chorizo

1/2 onion, diced

Brown the above until onion is soft and chorizo is thoroughly cooked. Drain, rinse or squeeze with paper towels. (Use whatever your preferred method for removing excess grease.)

Add to the above:

1/4 Cup chopped jalapenos

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can drained corn

1 can drained and rinsed black beans

2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning***

Simmer the above until ready to eat.

Serve with warm taco shells or tortillas, sliced black olives, fresh cilantro, chopped cheese, sour cream and salsa. Remember the avocado, if you like.

Yes. We prefer Greek yogurt over sour cream.

Enjoy! I prefer these in the winter over lettuce tacos.

This is definitely a keeper. Not only is this economical, the flavor is far superior to that of the packet mix. I am on my second batch. I love sprinkling this seasoning on nachos.
