“I love the little tacos, I love them good!” Gir, Invader Zim

Me too, Gir. Me too. How great were the cartoons on Nickelodeon in the late ‘90s/early 2000s? AmIright!?

And how great are tacos? Like Gir, my love for tacos is strong. I could eat tacos every day, at every meal. And I highly encourage you to do the same.

  • Chorizo Breakfast Tacos with Apple Radish Slaw

Move over Wheaties, because these Chorizo Breakfast Tacos with Apple Radish Slaw are the true breakfast of champions. The base of these tacos consists of just four ingredients: pork chorizo, eggs, tortillas, cotija cheese. If you need to have a hurried breakfast of champions, you could quickly toss those four ingredients together for simple chorizo and egg tacos.

But if you have time to slow your roll and savor the morning, take a few minutes to make the Apple Radish Slaw. It brightens up the tacos, cutting through the rich chorizo and adding complex layers of sweet, heat, and acid. And you can make this lovely apple slaw without cabbage. 

Chorizo Breakfast Tacos and Apple Radish Slaw

I used a surprisingly not-puckery crab apple for this slaw, but I think you can probably use just about whatever apple variety strikes your fancy. Except for Red Delicious. I forbid you from using that sorry excuse for an apple in this slaw.

The secret to perfectly julienned apples

Julienne the apple and radish for a pretty presentation and agreeable bites. My secret to achieving perfectly julienned fruits and vegetables is this handy grate and slice set from OXO (as an Amazon affiliate I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases). 

I’ve owned this set for six years and the julienne slicer is one of my favorite things. I use it all the time. Just make sure you take advantage of the food holder that comes with it to avoid shredding the bejesus out of your fingertips. After six years of use, that bitch is still sharp as hell. Ask me how I know. 

I like to start by making the Apple Radish Slaw so the flavors have some time to meld. Then I move on to cooking the chorizo. Once fully cooked, I strain the chorizo over paper towels while scrambling the eggs. Leaving the eggs for last ensures you serve them up as hot and fresh as possible.

Leftover Storage

Should you have any leftovers of these bomb chorizo and egg tacos, you can store them in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator (chorizo and eggs in one container, the apple radish slaw in another). For best results, eat any leftovers within a day.

This is one hearty, well-rounded breakfast and I'm stoked for you to try it. Because I know you will love these little chorizo and egg breakfast tacos as much as I do.

Notes

*I used Johnsonville ground pork chorizo and was impressed by the flavor; would definitely recommend. 
**Based on a ratio of using 2 large eggs for 3 tacos.
***I briefly toast each side of the tortillas over the open flame on my gas stove before serving.
