Breakfast Tacos with a Twist
Start Your Day with a Flavorful Kick
Why settle for a boring breakfast when you can spice things up with a delicious taco? Introducing our Breakfast Chorizo Tacos recipe, featuring a mouth-watering potato-and-onion filling, topped with cheese, salsa, and a runny egg.
The Magic of Mexican Chorizo
Mexican chorizo is a fresh pork sausage that adds a burst of flavor to our breakfast tacos. Unlike its Spanish counterpart, this sausage must be cooked before eating and can range from mild to spicy. You can find it at gourmet markets or online. If you can’t get your hands on Mexican chorizo, any fresh, spicy sausage will do the trick.
Queso Fresco: The Perfect Cheese
Queso fresco is a mild white cheese that doesn’t melt when heated, making it the ideal topping for our breakfast tacos. This cheese can be found in most grocery stores or specialty cheese shops.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 ounces Yukon Gold potato, cut into 1/8-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 ounces Mexican chorizo, casing removed
- 6 large eggs
- 6 small corn tortillas, warmed or grilled
- Crumbled queso fresco, for topping
- Ancho Chile Salsa, for topping
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the potato and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion starts to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Chorizo
Add the chorizo, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook until the potato cubes are tender and the chorizo is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Meanwhile, place the eggs in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and beat with a fork until well combined. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour the egg mixture into the pan, and cook until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the Tacos
Divide the egg mixture among the tortillas and serve with queso fresco and salsa. Enjoy your delicious breakfast tacos!
