Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chorizo
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil
  • 5 corn Tortillas
  • ½ cup Onion diced
  • 4 large Eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper

Optional toppings:

  • Salsa
  • Queso fresco or Shredded cheese
  • Pico de gallo
  • Jalapeno
  • Cilantro
  • Avocado

Instructions

  • Cook the chorizo in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it is fully cooked. Remove it from the skillet and place it in a bowl lined with paper towels to help absorb the excess grease.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into the skillet and allow it to heat up over medium heat. While the oil is heating up, cut the tortillas into about 1 inch pieces, or strips. 
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cut up tortillas into it. Fry the tortillas for about 5 minutes, turning them frequently until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • If there is too much excess oil after the tortillas have been fried, you can drain it into a glass jar or bowl. Leave the tortillas in the skillet and add your diced onion. Saute for another 1-2 minutes. 
  • Now crack your eggs directly into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scramble the eggs with the tortillas. Once the eggs are cooked through, add the chorizo back into the skillet.
  • Now add in your seasonings: cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it is fully incorporated. 
  • Serve with your favorite toppings!
