Smashed Chorizo Breakfast Tacos – Crispy, Spicy, and Ready in Minutes

If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s bold, flavorful, and ready in minutes, let us introduce you to your new go-to: Smashed Chorizo Breakfast Tacos. They’re spicy, crispy, protein-packed, and so easy to make that you’ll be wondering why you haven’t been eating them every morning.

The secret? Pressing raw chorizo directly onto a tortilla before cooking gives you a perfectly crispy layer of flavor in every bite. Pair that with fluffy scrambled eggs made from our Organic Pasture Raised Eggs, and you’ve got yourself a breakfast that checks all the boxes: fast, filling, and downright delicious.

Ingredients

• Small tortillas (flour or corn, your choice)

• Raw chorizo

• 4 Chino Valley Ranchers Organic Pasture Raised Eggs

• 2 green onions, chopped

• Guacamole (optional, but highly recommended)

• Shredded cheese (cheddar, cotija, or pepper jack works great)

• Your favorite taco toppings (salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, cilantro – the sky’s the limit)

Instructions

1. Smash the chorizo
Take a small tortilla and press raw chorizo directly onto one side in a thin, even layer. This ensures every bite is loaded with flavor and gets that golden, crispy edge when cooked.

2. Crisp it up
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tortilla chorizo-side down and cook until the meat is crisp and sizzling, and the edges of the tortilla turn golden.

3. Scramble the eggs
While your tortilla is cooking, heat another pan over medium and add a little oil or butter. Crack in your organic pasture raised egg, season with salt and pepper, and whisk in the chopped green onion. Cook until soft and fluffy.

4. Flip & warm
Flip your tortilla briefly to warm the non-chorizo side, then remove from the pan.

5. Fill & top
Spoon your scrambled eggs onto the chorizo side, then load it up with guacamole, cheese, and whatever toppings you’re craving.
