Breakfast tacos are like a breakfast burrito but much lighter. Eggs and chorizo are wrapped in corn tortillas with guacamole and red chile sauce. What a way to start or even end the day.
Cook and prep time assume you already have the corn tortillas and red chile made. So be sure to see Kitchen Notes* for more information or links to special ingredients.
If you are making the corn tortillas, make them first. Allow 30 minutes. Keep tortillas warm in tortilla warmer. If using store bought tortillas, place in an unsealed plastic bag with a slightly damp papertowel. Microwave for 30 seconds on high. Transfer to tortilla warmer or just keep in bag until ready to use. Do not seal the bag.
Heat the red chile sauce and keep warm.
Smash the avocado in a bowl. (I use a fork.)
Add the Green Chile spice and onion. Squeeze the juice from the lime wedge over the ingredients. Stir to combine. Taste for salt and adjust if needed.
Refrigerate until ready to assemble tacos.
Crumble the chorizo in a medium size skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked but still moist.
While the chorizo is cooking, whisk together the eggs, cream and dash of salt. When the chorizo is ready, pour the eggs into skillet, use a spatula to move the mixture around and to fold in the chorizo.
When the eggs are almost cooked, fold in the cheese. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Assemble a taco by placing a scoop of egg/chorizo/cheese mixture down the center of a tortilla. Top with 1 – 2 Tbsp. red chile, a scoop of guacamole, and the desired amount of chopped onion.
How to Make Corn Tortillas - Make them or buy them
Homemade Mexican Chorizo - It's easy to make your own, but you probably could find it in the meat section at your local grocer.
Vegetarian Option - Omit the chorizo or replace with beans (e.g., black beans, pinto beans or bolitas).
Red Chile Sauce from Pods (takes at least an hour) or Red Chile Sauce from Powder (takes about 20 minutes) - Don't want to make your own, then use your favorite enchilada sauce or salsa or purchase online.
Green Chile Spice Mix - This is for the guacamole which never really needs much because IMO, guacamole is all about the avocado. So if you don't have any green chile powder or spice mix, just season with salt.
