Print Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast taco bar featuring spicy Mexican chorizo and creamy scrambled eggs, perfect for gatherings or a satisfying solo meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casing removed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (if chorizo is very lean)
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup fresh pico de gallo or your favorite salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for heat

Instructions

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. If your chorizo is lean, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crumble the chorizo into the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for about 7–10 minutes until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Drain excess fat on paper towels if needed. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Using a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 20–30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined but not frothy. Melt the butter in the skillet over low-medium heat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit, undisturbed, for about 30 seconds. Using a spatula, gently push eggs from the edges to the center, forming soft curds. Continue folding slowly until eggs are mostly set but still creamy, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
  4. Arrange the warm tortillas, chorizo, scrambled eggs, cheese, avocado, cilantro, onion, salsa, sour cream, lime wedges, and any optional toppings in separate bowls or plates for easy self-serving.
  5. Encourage everyone to build their own tacos by starting with a tortilla, adding a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a generous sprinkle of chorizo, then topping with cheese, avocado, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Cook scrambled eggs on low heat and fold gently to keep them creamy. Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking chorizo to ensure it crisps properly. Warm tortillas just before serving to keep them pliable. Keep chorizo warm in a low oven if serving a crowd. For dairy-free, substitute milk and sour cream with plant-based alternatives. For vegetarian, substitute chorizo with spiced mushrooms or tofu.
