Migas Breakfast Tacos Recipe recipe
Tasting Table

Chorizo, bacon and eggs come together for the breakfast tacos of champions.

Ingredients

½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 avocado, diced
1 garlic clove minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 eggs
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped Hatch green chile
7 ounces (4 strips) thick-cut bacon
7 ounces (2 links) chorizo, casings removed
2 small corn tortillas, cut into 1½-by-¼-inch strips
8 small flour tortillas, warmed
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Method

1
In a small bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, lime juice, olive oil, avocado, garlic, salt and pepper to coat, then set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, then whisk in the cheese, cream and green chile; season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
3
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, flipping once, until golden and rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop then transfer to a bowl.
4
To the pan of rendered bacon fat, add the chorizo. Cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until the chorizo is golden and rendered, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
5
Add the tortilla strips to the pan and cook until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, then add the eggs with the reserved bacon and chorizo. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are fully scrambled, 3 to 4 minutes.
6
On a cutting board, lay out the warm flour tortillas. Divide the scrambled eggs between the tortillas, then spoon the tomato mixture over top. Garnish with cilantro, then serve.
