Ingredients

• 8 oz Fresh chorizo sausage
• 6 Large eggs
• 2 tbsp Whole milk
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 6 Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
• 1 Sliced avocado
• 1 Lime wedges
• 0 Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon of grease in the skillet.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

In the same skillet with the reserved chorizo grease, add the olive oil and heat over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture.

Step 5

Cook the eggs gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until they form soft curds, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the scrambled eggs and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 15-20 seconds on each side, until pliable and lightly charred in spots.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas.

Step 9

Top each taco with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side and an optional drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
