"Chorizo" Burrito

There is a yummy little place out here called El Chupacabra. It's a bar and not very kid friendly so we've only been there twice. But we have very fond memories of their veggie (fake meat) tacos. We decided to try our own rendition this weekend.

We picked up some Mexican Chipotle Field Roast Sausages (the closest thing we could find to veggie chorizo. It was the first time we'd tried that particular field roast "flavor" and oh my. It will become a staple for us, I think!). Sliced it in rounds and tossed it in a skillet to "brown up" as Jeff put it.

We already had flour tortillas so we used those but I think corn tortillas would be great in the future.

For assembly:
Flour tortilla
"Chorizo"
Shredded monterey jack cheese
Cubed avocado
Mixed lettuce greens
Fresh salsa

I went heavy on the avocado and it went sooo well with the spiciness of the chorizo.
