So that's a new wrinkle on me, I've never matched beef v. pork to see
who's less runny.

I was very pleased with the result. If I had a restaurant, I'd definitely serve this and price it around $6.00. With a large tortilla, the cost to make would be around $1.20 each. I was able to make 4 of these tasty wraps. Quick, cheap, and tasty. What's not to like?

Perfection!

(might benefit from some Hatch chile tho...)

You have divined the equation for 90% of the restaurants in these parts.

Thing is, once you master this it's hard to screw up due to the moisture
content in the chorizo, so your burritos can go right to all star status.
