Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
For our recipe, you will need:
- 8 eggs
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 pound chorizo
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- Cilantro and lime for garnish
To cook up this morning feast, make sure you have the following tools to hand:
- A non-stick frying pan
- A griddle pan for the tortillas
- A spatula
Chorizo is the star ingredient here, and I prefer going with fresh chorizo for its juicy smoky flavor profile. For you vegetarians out there, replace chorizo with your choice of veggie sausages or tofu.
How To Make Chorizo Breakfast Tacos
- Start by heating your frying pan over medium heat. Add the chorizo, and cook it until it’s nice and crisp.
- Next, scramble the eggs in a separate pan to your desired consistency. If you’re fancy like me, a dollop of cream in the eggs gives them a fluffy texture.
- Lightly toast your tortillas on the griddle, flipping them just once. You want a bit of char for that extra flavor.
- Then, it’s time to assemble! Start with a smear of refried beans on the tortillas, top it off with a generous serving of chorizo, scrambled eggs, and finish with cheese and sliced avocado.
- Garnish with some freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. And voila, your Chorizo Breakfast Tacos are ready to dig in!
Tips For The Best Results
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavors.
- Don’t overcook the tortillas; a slight char is all you need.
Storage Tips
- Assemble tacos just before eating to prevent them from getting soggy.
- Store leftover chorizo and scrambled eggs separately in the fridge.
