Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 6 large Eggs
- 8 small Corn tortillas
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chorizo from its casing and crumble it into the skillet.
Step 2
Cook the chorizo, stirring often, until it is fully cooked and browned, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs, add salt and black pepper, and whisk them together until well blended.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add olive oil to the same skillet where you cooked the chorizo. Pour in the eggs, stirring gently with a spatula, and cook until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine with the eggs. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas.
Step 8
Top each taco with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, sliced avocado, and a generous spoonful of salsa.
Step 9
Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
