1. Grease a large non-stick pan with olive oil spray and place over a medium heat. Add tortillas, three at a time, and cook for 2 minutes each side or until lightly golden and slightly crisp. Remove from pan. Reserve pan.

2. Heat oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook chorizo for 4 minutes or until golden. Reserve 16 slices chorizo for garnish. Add beans, water, spice mix and tomato paste and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Cook for about 7 minutes or until thickened. Cover and set aside. (Add more water if sauce thickens on standing.)

3. Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl until combined. Season, add cheese, corn and chives and whisk until combined. Melt butter in reserved pan over a medium heat. Add egg mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until mixture scrambles but is still moist. Remove pan from heat immediately.

4. Place cooked tortillas on a serving board. Dollop each one with bean mix and scrambled eggs and place avocado slices on top. Top with reserved chorizo. Squeeze lime over and garnish with coriander. Top with jalapeno and drizzle with hot sauce, if using. Serve.

tips White corn tortillas are mini tortillas found in the Mexican section of your supermarket. Find good-quality Mexican spice mix in the herb and spice section in gourmet greengrocers, or you can use taco seasoning. Manchego cheese is Spanish sheep’s milk cheese, available in some supermarkets and gourmet greengrocers. You can substitute with pecorino romano.
