Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
