How to Make Chorizo Potato And Egg Breakfast Tacos Tex Mex

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces (similar to potato salad).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and add the sliced onions. Cook until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Remove the chorizo from its casings and chop it roughly. Fry the chorizo in a separate skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Drain any excess grease, reserving 2 tablespoons.
  6. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs in the reserved chorizo grease. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Once the eggs are almost set, add the cooked potatoes and chorizo to the skillet. Gently fold everything together.
  8. Cover the skillet and remove from heat. Let the mixture steam for a minute or two.
  9. Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions.
  10. Fill each tortilla with the potato, chorizo, and egg mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and your favorite taco sauce.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious South Texas breakfast tacos!
