Ingredients for Savory Breakfast Tacos

Eggs are the protein-rich base of our scrambled filling, creamy and tender when cooked gently. Adding milk gives them a fluffy texture. Chorizo sausage brings a spicy, savory element that makes every bite exciting. Hash browns add a crunchy texture, complementing the soft eggs and sausage. Cheddar cheese melts beautifully, adding a rich, gooey layer of flavor. Flour tortillas are the perfect vessel, soft and pliable, holding everything together. A dollop of salsa provides a fresh, tangy contrast to the richness, while cilantro brightens the dish with its herbal notes. A hint of salt and black pepper rounds out the flavors, making each bite perfectly seasoned. Finally, olive oil helps cook the hash browns to crispy perfection.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra crispy hash browns, press them down with a spatula while cooking.
  • If you prefer less spice, opt for a milder sausage or reduce the amount of chorizo.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for a quick alternative.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these tacos with a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast. If you’re feeling indulgent, a side of avocado slices adds creaminess and balances the spicy chorizo. For a complete brunch, serve alongside a mimosa or freshly squeezed orange juice.

Savory Breakfast Tacos Recipe Walkthrough

First, grab your skillet and cook the chorizo over medium heat until it's fully browned. You’ll know it’s ready when it's sizzling and the edges have crisped up nicely. Once done, transfer it to a plate and set it aside for later.

Without cleaning the skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the hash browns, spreading them into an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes until they develop a golden, crispy crust. Flip them over to crisp up the other side.

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Pour this egg mixture into the skillet once your hash browns are done, and scramble them gently until they’re just set and still slightly glossy.

While the eggs are cooking, warm your flour tortillas in a separate pan over low heat. You want them soft and pliable, not crispy.

Now comes the fun part — assembling your tacos. Lay each tortilla flat and start with a layer of chorizo. Follow up with a generous serving of the scrambled eggs, then the crispy hash browns. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top, allowing the warmth to melt it slightly.

Finish off each taco with a spoonful of salsa and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve them up while they’re warm and enjoy!
