CHORIZO, POTATO, AND EGG BREAKFAST TACOS (TEX-MEX)
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.

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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right chorizo: Use a good quality chorizo that is not too spicy. Mexican chorizo is a good choice. You can also use Spanish chorizo, but it is typically spicier.
- Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo is a raw sausage, so it must be cooked before eating. Cook it over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through.
- Use fresh potatoes: Fresh potatoes will give your tacos a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned potatoes.
- Season the potatoes well: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also add some chopped onion or garlic to the potatoes for extra flavor.
- Use a good quality salsa: Use a salsa you enjoy the taste of. You can use a store-bought salsa or make your own.
- Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Chorizo potato and egg tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for feeding a crowd and can be easily customized to your liking. Experiment with different salsas, cheeses, and toppings to find your favorite combination.
