Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Tacos Delight: A Zesty Morning Feast
Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Tacos are a flavorful and spicy way to start your day. This delicious dish combines the rich, smoky taste of chorizo with fluffy scrambled eggs, all wrapped up in warm corn tortillas and garnished with fresh toppings. It’s a vibrant and satisfying breakfast that will awaken your taste buds.
Ingredients:
8 ounces of Mexican chorizo, casing removed
6 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
8 small corn tortillas
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Lime wedges for serving
Salt and pepper to taste
Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Chorizo:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Use a spatula to break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking until the chorizo is fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
2. Prepare the Eggs:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet used to cook the chorizo. Scramble the eggs over medium heat until they are just set and slightly runny.
3. Combine Eggs and Chorizo:
Add the cooked chorizo back into the skillet with the eggs, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but not dry.
4. Warm the Tortillas:
While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side, or on a dry skillet over medium-high heat until they are pliable and have a few charred spots.
5. Assemble the Tacos:
To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the chorizo and egg mixture onto each warm tortilla. Top with crumbled queso fresco, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, diced red onion, and jalapeño slices if using. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side for an extra kick.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Tacos immediately while they’re warm and fresh. Enjoy the zesty flavors and hearty textures of this delicious morning meal!
