Yields: 4 Servings Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 ounces lean chorizo sausage (or turkey chorizo for a lighter option)
- 8 small tortillas (corn or whole wheat for extra fiber)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or plant-based milk alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or a cheese of your choice)
- 1/2 cup of a fresh, vibrant salsa (homemade or store-bought)
- Optional: A dash of hot sauce for extra heat
- Optional: Fresh avocado slices for healthy fats
- Optional: Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Chorizo: In a large skillet, crumble the chorizo and cook over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat. Set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently until they are almost firm. Add in the cooked chorizo and continue to cook and stir until the eggs are set to your liking.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave according to package instructions until they are soft and pliable. You can add a dash of olive oil if you wish.
- Assemble the Tacos: Sprinkle cheese on each warm tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the chorizo and egg mixture. Add salsa and hot sauce (if using).
- Garnish: Top with fresh avocado slices and chopped cilantro, if desired.
