Taco Filling
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 cup Yukon gold potatoes diced small
- 4 ounces Mexican chorizo
- 5 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
- ½ CUP shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- 6 corn tortillas
Toppings
- Avocado cut into cubes
- Salsa for garnish
- Hot Sauce
Drizzle a nonstick skillet with avocado oil and place over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and golden brown.
Make a well in the center and add the chorizo. Use a spatula to break up the chorizo and cook until the chorizo is fully cooked through, then mix the chorizo with the potatoes.
Whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined and pour the whisked eggs into the chorizo mixture. Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs until just set.
Once the eggs are set, turn off the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions.
Char the tortillas on both sides until lightly chard, for about 30 seconds.
To assemble, layer the chorizo and potato egg mixture onto the charred tortillas and top with cubed avocado, salsa and hot sauce.
- Cut the potatoes into a small dice so they cook quickly and are easier to mix with the eggs.
- Take an extra few seconds to char the tortillas directly on the stove os the edges have a nice char to them, giving the tortillas an extra layer of flavor.
- Whisk the eggs very well, making sure the whites and yolks are completely mixed in, which will make the eggs even fluffier and lighter.
- As soon as the eggs are just set, turn off the heat to not overcook.
