Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 8 ounces paleo chorizo sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 leaves butter lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small lime
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
While the chorizo is cooking, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, sea salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Once the chorizo is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the chorizo in the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs and chorizo together as the eggs cook, making sure not to overcook them. This should take about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are set but still soft.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
To assemble the tacos, lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
Spoon the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Top each taco with a spoonful of mashed avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
