These easy Chorizo Breakfast Tacos with eggs, red onion salsa and avocado sauce are full of flavour and make a great crowd-feeding brunch.

Chorizo Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast for a Crowd

Isn’t breakfast food just the best?

These chorizo breakfast tacos are perfect for feeding a crowd on a late Sunday morning. The recipe below makes 6 tacos, but you can very easily double or triple it to make a big batch.

Make-Ahead

The salsa can be made in advance (I’d actually say that it’s better if you make it up the night before). Dish your chorizo eggs up in a warmed serving bowl, lay out some bowls of salsa, avocado sauce and all the taco extras like cheese and hot sauce. Then let everyone assemble their own!

What Kind of Chorizo?

I like to use what’s known as Sarta – it’s one of the most common types found in UK Supermarkets, and typically sold as a ring or horseshoe. It’s cured, meaning it’s sold suitable for eating, so you don’t need to cook it. But it will release some delicious oils if you do.

You can also use fresh chorizo in this recipe, also sold as cooking chorizo or Ristra. But do bear in mind that this type MUST be cooked through before eating as it’s only semi-cured.

Either of these types of chorizo will suit this recipe – just please don’t use pre-sliced! They are excellent for cheeseboards, pizzas and sandwiches, but they won’t work for these tacos.

My Flamenco Eggs also make a great easy brunch, especially if you’re feeding a crowd and these Fiesta Eggs are so tasty and super easy.

I hope you like these Chorizo Breakfast Tacos – please leave a comment if you try them!

Equipment

  • Non stick frying pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 150 gram chorizo sausage - not pre-sliced
  • 5 free range eggs
  • 6 6-inch tortillas

For the Salsa

  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 150 gram cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ยผ tsp garlic powder
  • ยผ tsp salt
  • ยฝ a lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh coriander - or sub ยฝ tsp dried

Avocado Sauce

  • 1 whole ripe avocado
  • ยฝ lime, juiced
  • ยผ tsp salt
  • pinch chilli flakes - optional
  • 1 tsp greek yoghurt or sour cream - optional

To Serve

  • Grated Cheese - Cheddar or Mozzarella work best
  • Your favourite Hot Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the salsa by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing well. This can be made up to 24 hours in advance, and actually improves in taste as time passes – I would recommend leaving it for at least 20 minutes before eating.
  • For the avocado sauce, scoop out you avocado flesh and blend with the lime juice, salt, and optional chilli flakes, either in a food processor or with a stick blender. Season to taste. You could also add a spoonful of yoghurt or sour cream or even mayonnaise to make it super creamy.
  • Warm the tortillas according to packet instructions, then get everything ready to serve the tacos before you start cooking the chorizo and eggs – you want to serve them straightaway.
  • Peel the skins from the chorizo and dice into small chunks.
  • Add to a frying pan over a medium to high heat (no need for oil) and cook for about 5 minutes, until you see the chorizo start to brown slightly – it will also release lots of flavourful oil. (Extend the cooking time for fresh chorizo, and ensure it is fully cooked through).
  • Whisk the eggs together and season with salt and pepper, then turn the heat down on your pan slightly and pour the eggs over the chorizo.
  • Gently mix the eggs and chorizo as they cook. When the eggs are almost done to your liking, take the pan off the heat – the eggs will continue to cook a little afterwards.
  • Assemble your tacos – spread some avocado cream on each tortilla, spoon some of the chorizo and egg mix on top then sprinkle with a spoonful of the salsa. Optional extra toppings include grated cheese and a drizzle of hot sauce or sour cream.
