This quick and easy breakfast taco recipe is made with scrambled eggs and savory chorizo sausage then drizzled with salsa verde.
It can be easy to get stuck in a breakfast rut (believe me, I get stuck in them frequently!) but these savory tacos with eggs and chorizo will break you free.
To make them, you simply sauté Spanish chorizo in a pan until golden brown. If you’ve never had chorizo before, it’s a Spanish pork sausage filled with garlic and spices. While it is flavorful, it’s not particularly spicy.
Scrambled eggs work best for these tacos and you’re welcome to add in a little cheese while cooking the eggs but that’s completely optional. Queso fresco would be my cheese of choice.
For serving, I love to use jarred or homemade salsa verde. Light and tangy, it balances perfectly with the eggs, chorizo and warmed corn tortillas. If you’ve never made salsa verde before, try out my Authentic Mexican Salsa Verde recipe.
To serve, I love to sprinkle with scallions, cilantro and lime but sour cream or minced onions would be great too. You can also keep it simple and skip the garnishes.
Final Pro Tip: Be sure to lightly sauté the corn tortillas before serving. You want to be sure the tortillas are warm and pliable so they don’t fall apart while eating.
No forks required.
