Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 2 cooking chorizo sausages
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tablespoons canned refried beans
  • 1 lime halved

Salsa

  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle flakes or 1 finely chopped fresh chili
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 2 bolillo or telera rolls or soft white baguette sections

Instructions
 

  • Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chorizo sausages, split in half lengthwise with the cut side facing down.
  • Cook the sausages until they are browned and crisp, then flip them to cook through on the other side.
  • While the chorizo cooks, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chili, and cilantro in a small bowl with the juice from half the lime.
  • Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste and set it aside.
  • In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with the remaining lime juice until smooth.
  • Slice the rolls open and toast them lightly, then press the cut sides into the rendered chorizo fat left in the skillet for extra flavor.
  • Spread the mashed avocado onto the bottom half of each roll and top with the cooked chorizo.
  • Spoon the tomato salsa over the chorizo, spread the refried beans on the top half of the rolls, and close the sandwiches to serve.
