Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 8 ounces chorizo
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup queso fresco
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 0.5 piece onion
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 piece avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the corn tortillas into 8 triangular wedges each.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the tortilla wedges in batches until crispy and golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 3
In the same skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chorizo and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 4
In a small pot, heat the red enchilada sauce over low heat until warmed through.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper, then scramble them gently until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Return the fried tortilla chips to the skillet (used for frying) over low heat. Pour the warm enchilada sauce over the chips, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Step 7
Top the sauced tortilla chips with the cooked chorizo and scrambled eggs.
Step 8
Crumble queso fresco over the mixture and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
Step 9
Thinly slice the onion and avocado, then use to garnish the dish along with a drizzle of sour cream.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a hearty breakfast or brunch option, paired with your favorite sides or beverages.
