Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 8 ounces chorizo
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup queso fresco
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 0.5 piece onion
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 piece avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into 8 triangular wedges each.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the tortilla wedges in batches until crispy and golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In the same skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chorizo and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In a small pot, heat the red enchilada sauce over low heat until warmed through.
In a separate skillet, lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper, then scramble them gently until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
Return the fried tortilla chips to the skillet (used for frying) over low heat. Pour the warm enchilada sauce over the chips, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Top the sauced tortilla chips with the cooked chorizo and scrambled eggs.
Crumble queso fresco over the mixture and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
Thinly slice the onion and avocado, then use to garnish the dish along with a drizzle of sour cream.
Serve immediately as a hearty breakfast or brunch option, paired with your favorite sides or beverages.
