These tacos lean on contrast—soft eggs against crisp chorizo, warm tortillas holding cool slices of avocado and the lift of herbs and pickled onion. The Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce adds a bright, clean heat with a touch of citrus. It's the breakfast of champions.
Ingredients
- 6 corn tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 100 g (3–4 oz) chorizo, diced
- 2 tbsp grated cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 tbsp pickled red onion
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce
Method
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp. Transfer chorizo to a bowl.
- In a nonstick pan, melt the butter over low heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook slowly, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until just set and creamy — about 5-6 minutes. Add the grated cheese, season with salt and pepper, mix through and remove from heat.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable and lightly charred. Stack and keep wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm.
- For assembling the tacos, take a tortilla and add a spoonful of scrambled eggs. Top with crisp chorizo, add diced avocado and a few pickled red onion slices. Finish with chopped coriander and a drizzle of Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce.
