Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz chorizo sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar, cotija, or queso fresco)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo, and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and slightly crispy (6-8 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper. Using the same skillet with chorizo drippings, pour in the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring gently, until soft and just set.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame for a few seconds on each side until soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Tacos: Divide scrambled eggs and cooked chorizo among the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese over the warm ingredients to allow it to melt slightly.
- Add Toppings: Garnish with diced avocado, salsa, cilantro, onions, and jalapeños as desired. Drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, with additional toppings or sides like refried beans or fresh fruit salad.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option: Swap chorizo for plant-based chorizo or seasoned black beans.
- Cheese Choices: Try pepper jack, feta, or Monterey Jack.
- Tortilla Swap: Use whole wheat or grain-free tortillas for variety.
- Extra Protein: Add crumbled tofu or extra egg whites for a protein boost.
