Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tbsp canola oil. When the oil is hot, add 1 medium diced onion and sauté, stirring often, until translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Add 1 cup diced bell peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and keep the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
- While the vegetables cook (or on a second burner), place 19 ounces beef chorizo in a separate skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
- In a medium bowl whisk together 7 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 2 heaping tablespoons canned diced green chilies until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked onions and peppers. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently to scramble, until the eggs are mostly set, about 5–6 minutes.
- When the eggs are almost done, stir in half of the 1/4 cup cilantro and half of the 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend. Finish cooking the eggs until fully set.
- Add the cooked chorizo to the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Keep the combined mixture over low heat to stay warm.
- Warm the can of refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through; keep warm.
- Warm the tortillas: heat a dry skillet over low heat and warm each yellow corn tortilla for about 20–30 seconds per side, until pliable. Keep warmed tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or in a low oven while finishing.
- Once the tortillas are warmed, sprinkle the remaining cilantro and remaining shredded cheese over the chorizo-egg mixture in the skillet and let the cheese melt briefly, about 30 seconds.
- To assemble each taco: spread some warmed refried beans onto a warmed tortilla, top with a portion of the chorizo-egg-cheese mixture, and garnish with fresh pico de gallo and salsa.
- Serve the tacos immediately.
