Recipe | Vegetarian Chorizo con Huevos Tacos
There is a big difference between Tex-Mex and Mexican tacos; both are great, but the tacos in this recipe will be more traditional Mexican tacos. Chorizo con huevos (Chorizo with eggs) is a popular breakfast but can really be eaten at any time of the day. My recipe calls for veggie-meat chorizo, but if you prefer the real pork sausage you can probably use discretion and substitute with little issue.
Ingredients
- 10 oz Morningstar Farms Chorizo Crumbles
- 6 eggs
- White corn street taco tortillas
- White onion
- Cilantro
- Lime
If you have fresh tortillas, your tacos will taste substantially better, but grocery store tortillas will suffice.
Cooking Chorizo and Eggs
- In a large pan on medium-high heat cook frozen chorizo crumbles with 1/3 cup water
- In a bowl, crack and whisk 6 eggs
- After cooking chorizo for 4 to 5 minutes, turn heat to medium and push chorizo to sides of pan to create a large opening in the center of the pan
- Pour about half the eggs into the center of the pan, cooking well and chopping and mixing with spatula
- After half the eggs are well cooked and chopped, push them aside and pour in the rest of the eggs and repeat previous step
- Once all eggs have been well cooked and chopped with edge of spatula, mix chorizo and eggs together
Preparing Toppings
- Cut a couple slices of onion and finely dice them
- Cut or pull some cilantro leaves from their stems
- Cut lime in half then into quarters
Serving Tacos
- Warm tortillas on a flat pan
- Put some hot chorizo con huevos into warm tortilla
- Top with onion and cilantro to taste
- Squeeze lime wedge onto taco and enjoy
