Breakfast Tacos with Chorizo

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
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 fresh Mexican chorizo from casings; 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. Transfer chorizo to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving about 1 tablespoon fat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low; add 8 beaten eggs to skillet.
  5. Scramble gently until set with no liquid egg remaining, about 3-4 minutes, and 160°F.
  6. Return chorizo; fold into eggs and remove from heat.
  7. Warm 10 tortillas in a dry skillet; keep wrapped in a clean towel.
  8. Set out chorizo-eggs, shredded cheese, diced avocado, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream as a taco bar.
  9. Let everyone build tacos with favorite toppings.
  10. Serve immediately while warm.
