🛒 The Ingredients
The Foundation:
- 4 Corn Tortillas, lightly charred on a griddle
- 3-4 Large Eggs, scrambled until soft and fluffy
- 1 cup Breakfast Potatoes, cubed and fried until crispy
- 1/2 cup Seasoned Chorizo or Sausage, browned
The Fresh Toppings:

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Crisp the Potatoes and Meat
Sauté the cubed potatoes in a hot skillet with a little oil until they are golden and crunchy. In the same pan (or a separate one), brown your chorizo or breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles.
2. Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook them over medium-low heat in a buttered pan, stirring gently until they are just set but still moist.
3. Warm the Tortillas
Heat the corn tortillas directly over a gas flame or on a dry cast-iron skillet for about 30 seconds per side until they are pliable and slightly charred.
4. Assemble the Tacos
Layer the scrambled eggs into the warm tortillas first, followed by the crispy potatoes and seasoned meat. Top each taco with a big dollop of guacamole, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a garnish of red onion and cilantro.
