Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz low sodium chicken chorizo
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece avocado
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 piece lime
Instructions
Dice the onion and red bell pepper into small pieces.
Chop the cilantro and set aside.
Peel and slice the avocado, then slice the lime into wedges.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the low sodium chicken chorizo to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it's fully cooked.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with black pepper until blended.
Push the chorizo mixture to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the other side.
Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side of the skillet and scramble gently, cooking until the eggs are just set.
Combine the eggs with the chorizo mixture, stirring gently to evenly distribute.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a scoop of the chorizo and egg mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with avocado slices, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
