Ingredients
  

  • 19 ounces beef chorizo spicy
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup assorted bell peppers diced
  • 7 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt enhances flavors
  • 2 heaping tablespoons canned diced green chilies adds heat and flavor
  • 1/4 cup cilantro divided
  • 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
  • 8-10 yellow corn tortillas
  • 1 can refried beans warmed
  • Garnish fresh pico de gallo and salsa

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Tortilla warmer or kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the beef chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Gently stir as the eggs begin to set, allowing them to cook until they are fluffy and just firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the canned diced green chilies and half of the cilantro and cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.
  6. While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave, wrapped in a damp kitchen towel.
  7. Spoon the chorizo and egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with the remaining cilantro, cheese, and your choice of pico de gallo and salsa.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider marinating the chorizo in spices overnight.
  • These tacos can easily be made ahead and reheated, making them perfect for meal prep.
  • The combination of textures—crispy tortillas, creamy eggs, and savory chorizo—makes every bite delightful.
