HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove chorizo with a slotted spoon, leaving about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the skillet.

02

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo fat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.

03

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the potatoes and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

04

While potatoes and onion cook, whisk the eggs with milk in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

05

Add the cooked chorizo back into the skillet with the potatoes and onion. Pour the whisked eggs over the mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.

06

Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet, microwave, or oven until pliable.

07

Spoon the chorizo, potato, and egg mixture generously into the warm tortillas.

08

Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty breakfast tacos.

Chef's Tips

For extra spice, add a pinch of chili powder or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the egg mixture before scrambling. To make ahead, cook the chorizo and potato mixture, then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently and then scramble fresh eggs to combine for best results.

Easy Substitutions

Ground pork or beef can be used instead of chorizo, seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and paprika for a similar flavor profile. Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes for a slightly different taste and added sweetness. For a vegetarian option, use plant-based chorizo or black beans seasoned with taco spices.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover chorizo, potato, and egg mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Tacos are best assembled fresh to prevent tortillas from becoming soggy.
