Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Remove chorizo from casing. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high.

  2. Step 2

    Crumble chorizo into the pan, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, ~6 minutes until browned and edges crisp.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer chorizo to a plate. Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat from the skillet, return to medium.

  4. Step 4

    Crack eggs into the skillet and stir gently until whites set but yolks stay soft, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return chorizo to pan, sprinkle cheese over eggs, remove from heat.

  6. Step 6

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet ~30 seconds per side. Fill each with egg-chorizo mixture and serve immediately.
