Tex-Mex Beef and Chorizo Burritos image

The original Tex-Mex (Texas-Mexican) wrap sandwich. This filling pairs ground beef with chorizo, a garlicky Mexican sausage made with pork and flavored with herbs, spices and chiles, available fresh or smoked. Easy and very, very good! From Ladies Home Journal.
