Ingredients
- 8 pastured eggs
- 1/2 cup flax milk (or preferred dairy-free milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or preferred cooking fat
- 1 pound organic chorizo
- 3 tomatillos
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic sea salt
- Handful of cilantro
- Juice from 1 lime
- 4 large or 8 small tortillas or substitute hearts of romaine
Directions
- :::taco filling:::
- In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk and garlic sea salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs in the olive oil until light and fluffy but cooked through. Use a spatula to break up the eggs while cooking to prevent burning.
- Set the eggs aside. In a medium-size skillet, cook the chorizo over high heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. This will take about 5-7 minutes; set the chorizo aside.
- :::pico de gallo:::
- Combine all the ingredients and stir. Keep chilled until ready for use.
- :::assembly:::
- Premade tortillas may be warmed in the toaster oven or regular oven at 300°F (150°C, or gas mark 2) for several minutes; keeping the heat low will warm them while preventing them from crisping up like tostadas.
- To assemble the breakfast tacos, into each tortilla, scoop a spoonful of eggs, followed by a spoonful or two of chorizo, and finally top with pico de gallo.
