Directions

Tacos

  1. In a bowl, WHISK eggs with a splash of heavy cream until well blended. MELT butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. ADD eggs and gently STIR, cooking until soft and fluffy. SEASON with salt and pepper to taste. REMOVE from heat.
  2. In a separate skillet, ADD the cooked chorizo and COOK over medium heat until it’s browned and heated through. While the chorizo warms, PREPARE your tortillas: Either WRAP them in aluminum foil and WARM in a preheated 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or carefully HEAT them directly over a low gas flame for 10–15 seconds per side, using tongs. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning!
  3. ASSEMBLE the tacos by layering each warm tortilla with scrambled eggs, chorizo, a drizzle of tomatillo sauce (see below for ingredients and directions), red onion, and cilantro.
  4. GARNISH with extra queso fresco, if desired, and ENJOY warm.

Tomatillo Sauce

  1. BLEND boiled tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, avocado, garlic, sour cream, queso fresco, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
