Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz chorizo sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 4 keto-friendly tortillas
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Remove the chorizo from its casing and crumble it into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
While the chorizo is cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Wipe out the skillet if necessary, and return it to medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and foam.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled, 4-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking; the eggs should be creamy and just set.
Warm the keto-friendly tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or according to the package instructions.
To assemble the tacos, divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top the eggs with the cooked chorizo, shredded cheddar cheese, slices of avocado, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately while the tacos are warm. Enjoy your keto-friendly chorizo and egg taco!
