Mexican breakfast tacos will be sure to start your day out right! Mexican chorizo rocks my world, including in these breakfast tacos topped with eggs and avocado.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add in chorizo. Break into small, bite-sized pieces using a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until meat is slightly darker and fat has rendered from the pork. Once cooked, remove chorizo from pan using a slotted spoon, leaving excess fat in the saucepan.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add an additional 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add in red onion, stirring frequently for 7-8 minutes. Add in peppers and continue cooking for an additional 7-8 minutes until peppers are soft. Cook potatoes in onion and pepper mixture, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and season mixture with ¼ teaspoon salt. Add chorizo back in.
When ready to serve, combine 12 eggs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until well blended. Heat butter in saute pan. Pour egg mixture into hot pan and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until set (about 2 minutes). Eggs should be set, but still shiny and moist.
Warm tortillas over a medium-low flame on a gas stove until slightly charred, or on a cast-iron skillet until warmed through. Fill tortillas with chorizo & potato mixture, eggs, and a slice of avocado. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you are prepping the chorizo & potato mixture to eat for breakfast throughout the week, do not make eggs ahead of time. For each egg you wish to scramble, add 1 teaspoon of milk, plus salt and pepper to taste.
