Ingredients

• 4 pieces gluten-free tortillas
• 12 ounces chorizo sausage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 15 ounces canned black beans
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium avocado
• 0.5 cup sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing, crumble it into the skillet, and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the pepper is softened.

Step 5

Drain the canned black beans and rinse them under cold water. Add the beans to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cook for 3 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

While the filling is cooking, chop the cilantro and juice the lime. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado thinly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Step 8

Warm the gluten-free tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the burritos, place an even amount of chorizo filling on each tortilla. Top with slices of avocado and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 10

Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go to form a burrito. Serve immediately and enjoy!
