These hearty Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos star bold chorizo and scrambled eggs that are brightened up with a tart and refreshing Apple Radish Slaw. 

“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. What better way to enjoy tacos than to have them for breakfast, as these Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Tacos will show.

Move over Wheaties, because these Chorizo and Egg 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 and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos ingredients

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 (Equipment)

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 Mueller.

I’ve owned this set for two 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 two 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.

How to Make Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Tacos

To make these chorizo and egg tacos, you will need the following ingredients:

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 pound pork chorizo cooked and strained in paper towels*
  • 8 large eggs scrambled**
  • 12 tortillas, taqueria style aka street tortillas***
  • Cotija or feta cheese for garnish

Chorizo Breakfast Taco Assembly

Cook chorizo and scrambled eggs to your liking. The chorizo will need 7-10 minutes of cooking time and a good strain after cooking to remove excess grease.

Put a tortilla on a plate. Add chorizo, followed by scrambled egg, followed by apple radish slaw, and top with cotija or feta cheese.

You could stop here and just enjoy these chorizo and egg tacos, but if you have the time, pair it with this fantastic Apple Radish Slaw.

How to Make Apple Radish Slaw

To make this tart and refreshing apple radish slaw (without cabbage), you will need the following ingredients:

Apple Radish Slaw

  • 1 medium-sized crab apple, julienned
  • 3 large radishes, julienned
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4-5 dashes hot sauce I used classic Tabasco
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 

Apple Radish Slaw Assembly

Add 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 4-5 dashes of hot sauce, and a few dashes each of salt and pepper to a bowl.

Whisk for 20 seconds to combine.

Add the julienned apple and radish and the thinly sliced green onion to the bowl. Stir until combined.

Taste. Add more salt and pepper if necessary.

Leftover Storage

Should you have any leftovers of these bomb chorizo and egg breakfast 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.

FAQ

My chorizo is greasy, what should I do?

I always strain my chorizo off after cooking. I recommend first straining the chorizo over a fine mesh strainer, then spreading it across paper towels to absorb further.

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.
