πŸ“ Instructions

8 steps
1

Peel and dice the russet potato into small, bite-sized cubes.

2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3

In the same skillet, add the chorizo sausage. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until fully browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

4

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a separate non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until soft and scrambled. Remove from heat.

5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until pliable.

6

Assemble the tacos by layering the crispy potatoes, chorizo, and scrambled eggs on each tortilla.

7

Top each taco with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and a spoonful of salsa. Slice the avocado and add a few slices to each taco as garnish.

8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Chorizo Potato and Egg Breakfast Tacos Tex Mex!
