Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chorizo casing removed
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 pound red potatoes diced
  • 8 eggs
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • ½ cup queso fresco cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons salsa

Method
 

  1. Cook the chorizo over medium heat in a non-stick pan until the meat is done and registers 165˚F. Chorizo will not change color like ground beef, so it is important to use a meat thermometer to make sure it is thoroughly cooked.
  2. Heat the canola oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium frying pan. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden brown (about 10 minutes).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, non-stick skillet over low heat. Scramble the eggs and add them to the pan. Cook over low heat until done.
  4. Warm a stack of tortillas in a non-stick skillet over low heat.
  5. Spoon a generous helping of the eggs onto a tortilla. Add chorizo and potatoes.
  6. Add a bit of your favorite salsa and top with grated queso fresco and sliced jalapeños.
