Easy Chorizo Breakfast Tacos
These chorizo breakfast tacos are so easy to make with chorizo sausage, our favorite store-bought hash brown potatoes, corn tortillas, and simple toppings like Cotija cheese, salsa, and fresh cilantro. A great breakfast to feed a crowd or to make camping or tailgating!
Servings: 10 tacos
Ingredients
- 12 oz chorizo
- 10 oz refrigerated package diced potatoes *We prefer the Simply Potatoes brand in the grocery store refrigerator - recommend half the bag.
- 8 eggs beaten
- 10 corn tortillas
- taco toppings like salsa, Cotija cheese, hot sauce, chopped cilantro, or avocado slices
Instructions
- Preheat griddle on medium heat to about 375-400℉. *You can also cook the chorizo, potatoes, and eggs in a skillet on the stovetop.
- Remove the chorizo from its casing, and add to the griddle or skillet to begin browning. As it cooks, use a spatula or wooden spoon to break the sausage up.
- After 3-4 minutes, add the diced potatoes and onions to the griddle (or skillet) to cook. *TIP – Move the chorizo over a bit and cook the potatoes in the residual sausage grease for extra flavor.
- When the chorizo is cooked through and the diced potatoes have a bit of color, mix the two together. Continue to cook until the potatoes are tender and done to your liking.
- Spread the chorizo and potato mixture out on the griddle or in the skillet so there is space for the eggs to touch the cooking surface in between. Slowly pour the beaten eggs onto the cooking surface in the empty areas. Cook the eggs just until done, stirring frequently. Then transfer the chorizo, potatoes, and scrambled egg mixture to a serving bowl.
- Warm the corn tortillas. To do so, simply heat the tortilla in a skillet over medium heat or on the griddle for about 15-20 seconds per side. You can also loosely wrap a few tortillas in a very damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds.
- Assemble the breakfast tacos. Add a few spoonfuls of the chorizo egg mixture to a corn tortilla. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese or queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and salsa. Enjoy!

Notes
- This breakfast tacos recipe is easy to customize to your liking. Try adding sautéed diced bell peppers and onions, substitute diced potatoes for shredded hash browns, etc. You can also serve the chorizo egg mixture in a bowl without the tortillas.
