South Texas knows its way around a breakfast taco. Corn tortillas are loaded up with cheese, chorizo, egg, and any other toppings that will start your day off right.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

6 ounces ground chorizo sausage
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
8 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

directions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until the sausage is cooked and crumbled. Drain well and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and milk. Heat another skillet on medium heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring, until melted. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring, until the egg is almost firm. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Heat the tortillas as directed on the package (either in the microwave or in a skillet).

Top each tortilla with 1/8th cup of the cheese. Divide the chorizo among the tortillas then top each with some of the scrambled egg. Serve with your choice of toppings such as salsa, jalapenos, chopped cilantro, sliced onion, etc.
