Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas
- 8 small flour tortillas (6” diameter) or corn tortillas for gluten free
Filling
- 12 oz chorizo sausage (casings removed if present) or bacon
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (skim or whole milk)
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
Toppings
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 cup roasted tomato salsa (Pico De Gallo or diced fresh tomatoes)
- Hot sauce, to taste
- Cilantro, to garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Chorizo: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside, draining excess fat if necessary.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and fine sea salt until well combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set at the edges. Gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs until they are softly cooked and slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat before fully firm to keep them moist.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave until pliable and hot, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, to prevent cracking when folded.
- Assemble the Tacos: Divide the cooked chorizo evenly among the tortillas, followed by the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese on top while the eggs are still warm to melt the cheese slightly. Add diced avocado and roasted tomato salsa. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon for chorizo if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Use corn tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your taste for extra spice.
- To make the tacos ahead, keep components separate and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Try adding other toppings such as diced onions, jalapeños, or sour cream for extra flavor.
