Ingredients
For the cilantro-lime pickled onions
- 1 medium red onion sliced into thin circles
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp lime juice about 1 lime
- ¼ tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- ¼ tsp kosher salt not iodized
- 4 tbsp water
For the chorizo eggs:
- 5 eggs whisked
- A splash of non-dairy milk of choice
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp of olive oil or non-dairy butter
- 2-3 inch piece of chorizo or 2-3 tbsp of the crumbles
Other Essentials:
- 6 corn tortillas roasted
- 1 tomato diced
- ¼ avocado diced
Instructions
Quick-pickled cilantro-lime onions:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced red onions.
- Break them apart, creating single circles.
- Add the vinegar, lime juice, garlic, chopped cilantro, kosher salt, and water when ready.
- Get your hand into that bowl. Don't be shy. Grab the onions, gently squeeze them, and toss for about a minute or so. The onions should be wilted yet still have that perfect crunch.
- Set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, we will cook the eggs.
Cup of Yum
Cook the chorizo eggs:
- Add the eggs, non-dairy milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk until homogenized and fluffy.
- Put a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Drizzle in olive oil.
- Add the chorizo and fry for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the eggs and gently stir around the eggs creating large fluffy lumps.
- Try to avoid breaking up the clumps.
Putting it all together:
- Grab the charred tortillas and fill each one with chorizo eggs, followed by the cilantro-lime quick- pickled onions, diced tomatoes, and diced creamy avocado.
- Eat them immediately.
