These Chorizo and Egg Tacos are one of my favorite ways to start the day, quick, flavorful, and packed with protein. The spiced pork sausage pairs perfectly with scrambled eggs and warm corn tortillas for a meal that works just as well for lunch or dinner. If you've never had chorizo tacos before, these are definitely a must-try!
This is hands-down my favorite way to use chorizo. Because it's already loaded with spices, there's no need to season the eggs, you just cook, assemble, and enjoy. I make these often when I need something quick but still homemade and satisfying. A few eggs, some sausage, and whatever toppings you have on hand, that's all it takes!

I love how versatile these are, especially for busy mornings or easy lunches. You can serve them with warm corn tortillas (my go-to) or swap in flour tortillas if that's what you have.

Get Creative with the Toppings
These tacos are incredibly easy to customize, so don't be afraid to make them your own! Here are a few of my favorite ways to switch things up:
- Tortillas: Swap corn tortillas for flour or use low-carb wraps if needed.
- Peppers: Sautéed bell peppers, jalapeños, or poblanos add color and heat. I often toss in whatever I've got growing, shishitos, nadapeños, even serranos if I want a little kick.
- Cheese: Try Colby Jack, cotija, or cheddar cheese. They all work beautifully.
- Salsas: Fresh salsa, Pico de Gallo, or even pickled peppers bring brightness and texture.
- Bonus Idea: Wrap it all up with some roasted potatoes or hash browns for an easy breakfast burrito. This is a great grab and go way to enjoy this chorizo breakfast!

📖 Recipe
Chorizo and Egg Tacos
Ingredients
- 9 ounces pork chorizo
- 4 large eggs
- 6 soft corn tortillas
- 4-6 ounces queso fresco cheese crumbled
- cilantro, minced as needed
- fresh salsa or pico de gallo as needed
- 1 avocado diced or sliced
Instructions
- Begin by warming the tortillas one at a time in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, just until soft and pliable. Once warmed, keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel or paper towel to help them stay warm.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until it's lightly browned and fully cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together. Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet over medium heat, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble. Try to keep the eggs in larger pieces and avoid overcooking. Turn off the heat just before they're fully set. The residual heat will finish cooking them without drying them out.
- Assemble your tacos with the warm tortillas and chorizo egg mixture, then add some fresh salsa, avocado, cilantro and cheese to each taco. Or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
