Servings: 5 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh Mexican pork chorizo, casings removed
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 10 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, optional
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, optional

Method
 

  1. Remove 1 pound of fresh Mexican chorizo from its casings and crumble into a large skillet.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and crispy. Don't crowd the pan - let it develop those crispy edges. Pork chorizo must reach 160°F.
  3. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and add 8 beaten eggs to the same skillet.
  5. Scramble gently until set with no liquid egg remaining, about 3-4 minutes, and 160°F.
  6. Return the chorizo to the pan and fold together with the eggs. Remove from heat.
  7. Warm 10 tortillas in a dry skillet; keep wrapped in a clean towel.
  8. Set up a taco bar with: the chorizo-egg mixture, shredded cheese, diced avocado, salsa, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream.
  9. Let everyone build their own tacos with their favorite toppings.
  10. Serve immediately while everything is warm.
