Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos

These chorizo and scrambled egg breakfast tacos offer a vibrant start to the day, combining smoky, spiced sausage with silky eggs and sharp white cheddar. By charring the corn tortillas directly over the flame, you achieve a subtle toasted flavour and authentic texture that perfectly complements the rich, savoury filling. It is a hearty choice for those who enjoy a breakfast with a bit of a kick.

This protein-packed dish is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for a quick weekday meal or a relaxed weekend brunch with friends. While the chorizo provides plenty of depth, adding a spoonful of cool soured cream and a dash of vibrant salsa helps to balance the heat. Simply serve with a few lime wedges on the side for a fresh, citrusy finish.

How to make Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos

Whisk eggs and 2 tablespoons coriander in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté chorizo sausage in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Add spring onions and sauté 2 minutes. Add egg mixture and stir until very softly set, about 1 minute. Remove egg mixture from heat.
