Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz Mexican chorizo
  • 8 large eggs beaten
  • 8 small flour tortillas warmed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 1 cup sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the chorizo, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. 2 In the same skillet, add olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. 3 Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the eggs and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  4. 4 Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave them briefly until pliable.
  5. 5 Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the chorizo and egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
  6. 6 Serve immediately with optional toppings like sour cream, lime wedges, and sliced avocado on the side.
