Breakfast Taco Recipe FAQs

Tips for toasting tortillas

There are many ways to give that pretty charred color and crispy sturdiness to tortillas. Use a high flame with one of these heating tools:

• Cast-iron pan
• Directly on the flame of a gas-rang stove
• Non-stick pan
• Comal / Tortilla Skillet

After heating each one, I wrap them in a cozy kitchen towel. This will help keep them warm and prevent sogginess due to condensation.

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

For the cilantro-lime pickled onions

• ▢ 1 medium red onion sliced into thin circles
• ▢ 2 tbsp vinegar
• ▢ 2 tbsp lime juice about 1 lime
• ▢ ¼ tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove minced
• ▢ 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• ▢ ¼ tsp kosher salt not iodized
• ▢ 4 tbsp water

For the chorizo eggs:

• ▢ 5 eggs whisked
• ▢ A splash of non-dairy milk of choice
• ▢ pinch of salt and pepper
• ▢ 1 tbsp of olive oil or non-dairy butter
• ▢ 2-3 inch piece of chorizo or 2-3 tbsp of the crumbles

Other Essentials:

• ▢ 6 corn tortillas roasted
• ▢ 1 tomato diced
• ▢ ¼ avocado diced

Instructions

Quick-pickled cilantro-lime onions:

• In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced red onions.
• Break them apart, creating single circles.
• Add the vinegar, lime juice, garlic, chopped cilantro, kosher salt, and water when ready.
• Get your hand into that bowl. Don't be shy. Grab the onions, gently squeeze them, and toss for about a minute or so. The onions should be wilted yet still have that perfect crunch.
• Set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, we will cook the eggs. 

Cook the chorizo eggs:

• Add the eggs, non-dairy milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk until homogenized and fluffy.
• Put a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Drizzle in olive oil.
• Add the chorizo and fry for about 30 seconds.
• Pour in the eggs and gently stir around the eggs creating large fluffy lumps.
• Try to avoid breaking up the clumps.

Putting it all together:

• Grab the charred tortillas and fill each one with chorizo eggs, followed by the cilantro-lime quick- pickled onions, diced tomatoes, and diced creamy avocado. 
• Eat them immediately.
