Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Salsa (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chorizo: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Once the chorizo is cooked, add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Stir gently to combine, cooking until the eggs are just set, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: In another dry skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: To each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chorizo and egg mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Top with slices of avocado and fresh cilantro. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over everything.
  6. Serve: Serve the tacos warm with salsa on the side for drizzling or dipping.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add diced jalapeños when sautéing the vegetables.
  • Vegetarian option: Substitute chorizo with plant-based chorizo.
  • Ensure tortillas are warm and pliable for the best texture.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings like sour cream, hot sauce, or pickled onions.
