Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 tortillas fresh
  • 9 oz pork chorizo
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 egg vigorously beaten
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded sharp
  • ½ cup crema mexicana
  • 1 tomato diced into small cubes
  • 1 green onion diced, bunch

Instructions

For the tortillas:

  1. Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet on low, and heat tortillas in batches while cooking chorizo and eggs.
  2. Cook them by adding to skillet, letting them puff a bit, and then removing when slightly browned.
  3. If you want a firmer tortilla, hang from oven racks to create a taco shape (I prefer softer corn shells that have a bit of give, so I just keep them in foil and cook them in batches while I cook the rest of the meal).

For the filling:

  1. Place in foil to keep hot while making eggs.
  2. In a large heavy pan, brown chorizo.
  3. Drain off fat.
  4. At this point, you can either cook the eggs with the chorizo for more flavor, or make them in a separate pan. If in a separate pan, heat a heavy nonstick pan on medium high and add a dash of olive oil to the pan, swirl.
  5. Add eggs to hot pan.
  6. Add cheese to eggs, stir.
  7. Keep stirring eggs to prevent from sticking and burning- this will also keep them fluffy.
  8. When eggs are set, but still just a touch runny, remove from heat (they will continue to cook and become firm- this helps to not overcook them).
  9. Add eggs and chorizo to tacos, and top with diced tomato, green onion, and crema mexicana, to taste.

Notes

  • Cooking eggs and chorizo together cuts down on the amount of dishes to clean and gives more flavor- but can make eggs look pinkish. This is purely cosmetic- but if you need perfect looking eggs, cook them in a separate, clean pan.
