1. fry a small piece of chorizo by itself, (making sure you take off
the casing) with a small amount of bacon grease or crisco in the pan,
breaking up the chorizo while it's cooking. move it to the side of
the pan, tilting the pan, and squeeze as much of the grease out as
possible. Take out all but two tablespoons of the grease, (save the
rest for the refried beans), add a couple of eggs & scramble the
chorizo & eggs together until the eggs are cooked to the way you like
them.

2. put the egg & chorizo mixture into a bowl, and add the plain
cooked rice and mix it together.

3. take the left over grease from the chorizo (it should be a reddish
color) back into the frying pan, when this grease is hot then put a
small can of refried beans into the frying pan and mix it up very
well. now you are ready to make your burrito.

4. take a big flour tortilla that you have heated up, spread the bean
mixture into it, and on top of the bean mixture, add some shredded
cheese, and the egg & chorizo mixture. fold the tortilla into a
burrito, and eat immediately, or you can fry it if you want to do so.

you can buy chorizo in most super markets, and a little goes a long
way.
