Hello my fellow foodies.  I've missed sharing with you.  My new business has taken more of my time afterhours than I anticipated.  Although I am happy about its progress and successes, I desperately miss this one and only hobby I have grown so attatched to.  Cooking has become so much more to me than I ever imagined it would.  It has become my escape.

Recently I was shopping at Trader Joes and decided to pick up some salami for the first time there.  Little did I realize that I would also find the best chorizo I have EVER had.  Soy chorizo that is!

The only place I have ever seen soy chorizo is at SaveMart which wasn't too bad.  After having TJ's though.....I ain't ever goin' back.  Big difference!  So much flavor!!  It was pretty close to, in fact, better than the pork and beef chorizo that we used to buy before we found soy.  I'm hooked.  Baited by salami, hooked on TJ's chorizo.

In a large nonstick skillet warm the chorizo a few minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix about 10-12 eggs (I omit about half the yolk and add a little milk). 
Add the eggs to the chorizo and scramble everything together until fully cooked but still moist.

Warm up some of your favorite tortillas........

Avocados + Chorizo = A really happy and hungry Steph :)

And just in case there is anyone out there that needs a little clarity on the art of Burrito Wrapping......

Bring the sides in toward the middle.

Picture
hold those sides you just folded in and bring in the bottom side up and in toward the top completely covering your filling.

Picture
See how the sides are just waiting to open up, well get a hold of those little flaps and push them in once more while you tuck in the folded side.

Picture
Tuck as tight as you can without tearing the tortilla, and roll roll roll.

Voila!  Isn't it pretty?!  Okay maybe not as pretty as a gourmet sushi roll, but considering tortillas are like a staple in my kitchen, i'm considering warming up my comal (griddle) right about now.

oo la la. 

A whole lot of yummy without all the guilt.

Yummy! I've tried the Soyrizo before and it was okay... but I ended up going back to regular chorizo... But now that you have posted this, I think I will try TJ's version... Thanks for sharing...
