Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 8 ounces paleo chorizo sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 leaves butter lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small lime
Directions
Step 1
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
While the chorizo is cooking, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, sea salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Step 4
Once the chorizo is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the chorizo in the skillet.
Step 5
Gently stir the eggs and chorizo together as the eggs cook, making sure not to overcook them. This should take about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are set but still soft.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
Step 8
Spoon the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Step 9
Top each taco with a spoonful of mashed avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
