Warm Corn Tortillas with Scrambled Eggs and Chorizo Recipe
Ingredients:
6 corn tortillas
6 large eggs
8 oz chorizo sausage, casing removed
1 cup pico de gallo
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the Chorizo: In a large skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream (if using), and season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring constantly, until they are softly scrambled.
Warm the Tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable and warm.
Assemble the Tortillas: Place warm tortillas on a serving plate. Top each tortilla with scrambled eggs, cooked chorizo, a spoonful of pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of crumbled cheese.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately, paired with a refreshing Bloody Maria.
Add the tequila, tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, and black pepper.
Shake well and strain into a glass filled with ice.
Garnish with a lime wedge and celery stalk.
