How to Make Chorizo And Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove chorizo from skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered chorizo fat in the skillet.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, 2 tablespoons cilantro, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the sliced green onions to the skillet with the chorizo fat and sauté for 1 minute.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist (about 3-4 minutes).
  7. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  8. Warm tortillas: You can heat them directly on a gas flame, on a dry skillet over medium heat, or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  9. Sprinkle 1/6 cup of the shredded cheese onto each tortilla.
  10. Divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  11. Top with the remaining cilantro and fold each tortilla in half.
  12. Serve immediately with sour cream and hot sauce, if desired.
