  • Prepare the refried beans. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot to the skillet and season with a ¼ teaspoon of salt. Sauté the shallot for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  • Add the pinto beans and 3 tablespoons of the pinto bean liquid to the skillet and cook the beans for 4-5 minutes. Smash the pinto beans with the back of a fork until pureed. Stir the pureed beans and remove them from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover for later. If the beans are a bit dry when you serve them, add 1-2 tablespoons more of the bean liquid.

  • Prepare the ground chorizo. Use the same skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in the skillet and heat over medium/high heat. Add the ground chorizo and break the chorizo up with a spatula. Cook until fully cooked. Transfer the chorizo to a bowl.

  • Heat the same skillet over medium heat. If your stovetop runs hot, err on the lower side, and heat to medium/low heat.
  • While the pan is preheating, whisk together eggs and milk.

  • Add olive oil to the pan, and once the oil is fragrant, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  • Allow eggs to partially set around the edges of the pan, and then fold eggs toward the center of the pan as they cook.
  • Keep folding eggs without fully flipping them for 2-3 minutes. Cook until the eggs are fully cooked.
  • Remove from heat, and add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Assemble the tacos by adding pico de gallo, refried beans, chorizo, cotija cheese, and fresh avocado slices to each tortilla.
