Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225g) raw fresh chorizo (Mexican-style preferred)
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 small corn tortillas, warmed
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: diced red onions, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese (cotija or cheddar), sliced jalapeños, hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the raw chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and crisp bits form, stirring occasionally. Drain excess fat if too oily but keep some for flavor.
- While the chorizo cooks, whisk 4 large eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, pour in eggs with the cooked chorizo, and gently stir. Cook slowly for 2-3 minutes until eggs are soft but fully set. Avoid overcooking.
- In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Warm tortillas one by one in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred. Keep warm wrapped in a clean towel.
- Assemble tacos by spooning chorizo and egg mixture onto each tortilla. Drizzle with avocado crema and add optional toppings as desired.
- Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime over the top.
Notes
Use ripe avocados for the creamiest avocado crema. Cook chorizo over medium heat to render fat and develop crispy bits without burning. Scramble eggs slowly on low heat for creamy texture. Warm tortillas just enough to be pliable and slightly charred. For dairy-free crema, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or dairy-free sour cream. Leftovers can be stored separately and reheated gently.
