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.

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.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large poblano chile
1 medium russet potato (1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 pound fresh chorizo, casings removed
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 small flour tortillas, warmed or lightly toasted
Summer Salsa Picante

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place poblano on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. (Alternatively, roast over a low gas flame.) Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam 10 minutes. Rub with a paper towel to remove skin. Discard stem and seeds and slice poblano into 2-inch strips.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet with a lid, bring potato to a boil in 1 cup cold water. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with a knife, about 7 minutes. Drain potato and return to skillet. Add chorizo and cook over medium-high, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through and potato begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve with tortillas, poblano strips, and salsa.

CHORIZO, POTATO & EGG TACOS



Chorizo, Potato & Egg Tacos image

You don't know what your missing until you've had "Mexican Breakfast Tacos" with fresh salsa. While I lived in San Antonio, Texas I got addicted to breakfast tacos and not only had them for breakfast but midnight snacks as well. I looked forward to eating them when I went to work at Alphonso's Mexican Restaurant and this one is...

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6-8 oz chorizo (mexican sausage, mild, medium or hot)
2 small potatoes, cooked & diced
1/4 c onion, diced
6-8 small flour tortillas
6 large eggs
salsa
1/2 tsp adobo seasoning
salt & pepper
2 Tbsp cream or milk

Steps:

  • 1. Fry up your cooked & diced potatoes in a pan on low heat w/some butter or oil. Season them with the adobo, salt & pepper. Put them in a bowl and set aside.
  • 2. Fry up your chorizo just like you would ground sausage. Do not drain your chorizo unless it is really greasy. Ours is from a local butcher so it is perfect w/seasoning & flavor not too much grease. When the chorizo is almost done I add the potatoes and mix it together.
  • 3. Whisk your eggs and cream together and add to your chorizo & potato mixture. Cook till done.
  • 4. Some fresh salsa makes these tacos superior. This is my homemade yellow tomato salsa that I am currently out of. Looking forward to summer and canning some more.
  • 5. Heat up some tortillas in microwave w/a damp paper towel around them or on the stove in a pan for 20 - 30 seconds for each one. Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of chorizo mixture, a pinch of cheese, salsa and then wrap them in tinfoil or serve and eat immediately. --my husband likes sour cream & hot sauce on his.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chorizo: Use a good quality, spicy chorizo for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh chorizo, you can use dry chorizo, but it will need to be rehydrated before using.
  • Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo can be a bit fatty, so it's important to cook it thoroughly to render out the fat and prevent it from being greasy. Cook the chorizo over medium heat until it's browned and crispy.
  • Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for these tacos because they're sturdy and hold their shape well when cooked. Other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, may fall apart more easily.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help them to develop a nice flavor.
  • Cook the potatoes until they're crispy: The potatoes should be cooked until they're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will give them a nice texture and help them to hold together in the tacos.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture in your tacos. If you can, use organic or free-range eggs.
  • Cook the eggs to your liking: You can cook the eggs to your liking, whether you like them sunny-side up, over easy, or scrambled.
  • Assemble the tacos: To assemble the tacos, simply place a scoop of chorizo and potatoes on a tortilla, top with an egg, and add your favorite toppings. You can use salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or anything else you like.

Conclusion:

Chorizo potato egg tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They're perfect for a crowd, and they can be made ahead of time. Simply cook the chorizo and potatoes, and then assemble the tacos when you're ready to serve. With their combination of savory chorizo, crispy potatoes, and fluffy eggs, these tacos are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
