CHORIZO, POTATO, AND EGG BREAKFAST TACOS (TEX-MEX)



Chorizo, Potato, and Egg Breakfast Tacos (Tex-Mex) image

In south Texas, breakfast tacos are a way of life. There is a taco joint on every street corner. I make tacos for breakfast almost every weekend. This mixture is one of our favorites. I took a big batch in to work one morning and it was a huge hit.

Provided by Pokey in San Antonio

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 16 tacos, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb potato
1 lb mexican chorizo sausage
6 eggs
1/2 cup onion (sliced)
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup taco sauce
3 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
16 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Peel and dice 3 medium baking potatoes. Pieces should be about what you would do for potato salad (about 1/2" cubed).
  • Heat oil and brown potatoes. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes start to brown, reduce heat and cover. The idea is to have them lightly brown, but still soft. Add the sliced onions when you cover and reduce the temp to med-low. Stir occasionally. When done, set aside.
  • The best chorizo is a kielbasa style (big fat links in natural skin). Remove from skin and chop up. Fry in skillet until done, drain and set aside. Reserve 2 tbl of the chorizo grease.
  • Scramble the eggs in the reserved grease. Salt and pepper the eggs, and when almost set, add the potatoes and the chorizo.
  • Fold the mixture together then cover and remove from the heat. Serve immediately on warm flour tortillas, toped with cheddar cheese and your favorite taco sauce.

MIGAS BREAKFAST TACOS



Migas Breakfast Tacos image

Tortilla chips in tacos may seem like overkill, but they're not. Set into scrambled eggs that are loaded with onions and poblanos, they soften and enrich the mix while keeping some crispiness. A slice of avocado on top - along with melted cheese - adds a nice creaminess to the mix. These tacos work well with red or green salsa, so use your favorite. While these would impress at a weekend brunch, they also come together quickly on weekday mornings, and can be wrapped in foil to be eaten out of hand.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     breakfast, brunch, dinner, lunch, quick, snack, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large eggs
Kosher salt
6 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup tortilla chips, broken if very large
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup diced, seeded poblano pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated (3/4 cup)
1/2 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
Salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Put 3 tortillas in it and turn them until warm and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Stack on foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, adding them to the same stack and wrapping to keep warm and soft.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the oil and swirl to coat, then add the chips. Cook, stirring, until sizzling and browned in spots, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, poblano and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the edges of the onion are just translucent but the vegetables are still crisp, about 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle the egg over the chips and vegetables. Let stand for 15 seconds until just starting to set, then stir rapidly to scramble until just set but still wet, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle the cilantro on top.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately divide among the warmed tortillas. Sprinkle with the cheese and top with the avocado and salsa. Serve immediately or wrap each taco in foil to eat out of hand.

Super-flavorful (and super-easy) homemade fresh chorizo and crispy hash brown potatoes take these tasty breakfast tacos to the next level.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Pork     Breakfast     Kid-Friendly     Cinco de Mayo     Jalapeño     Tortillas     Taco     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the chorizo:
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces ground pork
1 small can chipotle chiles in adobo
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
For the tacos:
1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil (such as grapeseed), plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 scallions, thinly sliced
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk, half-and-half, or cream
8 small flour tortillas
1/2 cup grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (or a mix)
Creamy Jalapeño Sauce or your favorite hot sauce (for serving)
Sliced avocado (for serving)
Cilantro leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Make the chorizo:
  • Using the flat side of a knife, smash garlic. Finely chop, then sprinkle with salt. Press flat side of knife into garlic and drag it across, repeating until a paste forms. Place pork in a medium bowl and add garlic paste. Finely chop 1 medium-sized chipotle chile with seeds and add to pork (you should have about 1 Tbsp. chopped chile). Add vinegar and 2 Tbsp. adobo from can and stir to combine.
  • Make the tacos:
  • Heat 8 cups cold water in a large pot over medium-high. Add potatoes and vinegar and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes, and drain well.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and reserved chorizo. Cook, breaking chorizo into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl, and reserve fat in skillet. (You will need 3 tablespoons fat to cook the potatoes, so add a few more tablespoons of oil if necessary.)
  • Heat the skillet over medium. Add potatoes, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Toss potatoes in oil and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, about 18 minutes. Be patient-cooking your potatoes slowly will guarantee a soft, fluffy interior and a perfectly crisp exterior. Add scallions and 1 Tbsp. butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are soft, 2 minutes more. Add potato mixture to chorizo; reserve skillet.
  • While potatoes cook, combine eggs, milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Heat tortillas in a dry medium skillet over medium until hot and lightly toasted (or wrap them in damp paper towels and heat in a microwave for about 20 seconds). Wrap in damp paper towels and keep warm between 2 plates.
  • Heat reserved skillet over medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. butter. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until barely set, about 2 minutes. Return sausage and potatoes to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until reheated, about 2 minutes.
  • Place 2 tortillas each on 4 plates and divide egg mixture among tortillas. Top with cheese, hot sauce, avocado, and cilantro.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chorizo can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

MIGAS BREAKFAST TACOS



Migas Breakfast Tacos image

What's better than breakfast tacos? How about breakfast tacos with some extra crunch in them? Migas ("crumbs" in Spanish) refers to the crumbled bits of tortilla chips mixed in with the eggs and vegetables. But don't expect any crumbs left when you serve this recipe.

Provided by Jaymee Sire

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup chopped tomato
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil, such as safflower
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup crushed tortilla chips (bite-sized pieces)
1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, optional
Four 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
Chopped cilantro and scallions, sliced avocado, and salsa, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Place the tomato in a colander and season with salt. Set aside and let drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, if you prefer them slightly cooked, and cook for 30 seconds. Drain the vegetable mixture in the colander and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper--but do not beat yet. Add the butter to the skillet; while it starts to melt, beat the eggs until foamy and add to the skillet just before the butter melts completely. Cook, stirring slowly with a silicone spatula, until curds start to form.
  • While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas on each side in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the tortilla chips and vegetable mixture to the eggs and continue to cook until the eggs are almost done. Sprinkle with cheese and remove from the heat. (The eggs will continue to cook off the heat.)
  • Once the eggs are done to your liking, spoon them onto the warmed tortillas and garnish with your desired toppings. Serve immediately!

ROBERT RODRIGUEZ' SIN CITY BREAKFAST TACOS



Robert Rodriguez' Sin City Breakfast Tacos image

Director Robert Rodriguez, unbeknownst to me does a cooking segment called 10 Minute Cooking School with each of his movies on DVD. Here is his grandmother's recipe for tortillas and the breakfast tacos aka migas' recipe, too. I altered the recipe slightly. FYI: this recipe is prepared easier and faster if you tag team with another person: one to make the tortillas and one to prepare the migas. Finally, check out the two recipes on Recipezaar for puerco pibil, another cooking segment offering also demonstrated by Robert.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature or 1/8 cup butter and 1/8 cup lard
3/4 cup warm water, approximately
bacon drippings (optional)
1 large potato, peeled and diced small
1 large tomatoes, diced

1 green jalapeno, minced
4 day old corn tortillas, cut up into strips slices
5 -6 eggs, lightly beaten
corn oil, for frying
real butter, for frying
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Note: Tortilla recipe yields 8-10.
  • FLOUR TORTILLAS: In large mixing bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Cut in the butter (or butter and lard) using a pastry blender or your hands until mixture is incorporated and coarse, like wet sand.
  • Add 3/4 cup warm water and using your hands or a fork, form into a dough, not too sticky and not too dry. If too sticky, add more flour, too dry, add more water.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until no longer sticky; the dough should feel smooth, elastic and not dry.
  • Divide the dough up into 8-10 balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
  • Lightly dampen a tea towel with warm water, cover the dough and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • TACOS/MIGAS: Heat up about 2 tablespoons corn oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat and fry the potatoes until soft but not crispy.
  • Season potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer potatoes to a paper towel lined plate.
  • In the same pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of corn oil and fry the tomato, onion and jalapeno until onion [just] begins to soften. Set aside and keep warm.
  • In the same pan, heat up some more oil (2 tablespoons or so) and fry up the corn tortilla strips until crispy.
  • Set corn tortilla strips aside on a paper towel lined plate and drain.
  • Using the same pan, heat up about 2 tablespoons butter and lightly scramble the eggs.
  • Combine the tomato mixture, corn tortillas strips and eggs on a platter. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Using a rolling pin, shape the flour tortillas into thin round circles about 6" in diameter. (Or use a wax paper lined tortilla press to form.).
  • Heat up a cast iron skillet on medium heat. (If you want, you can add a [~small~] amount of bacon drippings to the skillet to cook the tortillas).
  • Cook the tortillas until bubbles form and brown specks appear, about 1 minute. Turn over and cook other side, about another minute.
  • Continue cooking all the flour tortillas in the same manner.
  • Keep tortillas warm, stacking them one on top of the other until ready to serve. Do not allow to dry out! Use a dampened tea towel or tortilla warmer to keep tortillas pliable.
  • To serve, divide the potato/egg mixture onto the flour tortillas. Fold in half and eat!
  • Important note: Servings are estimated.
