Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz Chorizo sausage, removed from casing
  • 2 tbsp jalapeno pepper, chopped
  • 3 tbsp pepper (red, orange or yellow), chopped
  • 3 tbsp red or yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 corn or flour tortillas, taco size
  • 4 tbsp queso fresco cheese, crumbled
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 4 tbsp green onion, chopped
  • 8 thin slices jalapeno pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 small avocado, sliced into four wedges
  • 2 tbsp cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
  • 4 tbsp salsa or fresh pico de gallo

Instructions
 

  • Place the chorizo sausage in a large frying pan over medium high heat with the peppers and chopped onions and cook until the sausage becomes a dark red color.  Don't drain the grease (it contains amazing flavor for your eggs).
  • Push sausage aside to make a space for your eggs.  Crack eggs into the pan with the sausage.  When eggs are starting to set scramble them into the sausage mixture and cook on medium heat until eggs are done.  Turn off the heat.
  • Warm up your tortillas.  I heat mine on my gas stovetop over a low flame for about 30 seconds each side.  Watch the tortillas so they don't burn.  You can also place the tortillas in a dry frying pan over medium high heat for 20-30 seconds each side or between moist paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Build your tacos by placing the chorizo egg mixture in the shell first.  Sprinkle queso fresco cheese over the egg chorizo mixture.  Add tomatoes, green onions, jalapeno slices, avocado,  cilantro and salsa.  Enjoy!
  • NOTE:  You can also enjoy your chorizo scrambled eggs alone with a side of refried beans and tortillas.
  • Other suggested toppings include sour cream or Mexican crema, use shredded Mexican cheese in place of queso fresco,  guacamole instead of avocado slices.
  • This recipe makes 4 breakfast tacos. You can easily double this recipe. One serving is one taco but if you are really hungry you may need two!
