Name: Chorizo Breakfast Tacos
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons peanut oil (plus more as needed); 4 potatoes (cubed); 1 small yellow onion (diced); 3 cloves garlic (crushed); 8 ounces fresh chorizo; 4 eggs; 4 tortillas; diced fresh cilantro ((coriander))

A wonderful Mexican-influenced breakfast cooked on a flat top grill, these chorizo breakfast tacos look as good as they taste. Layers of potatoes, onions, chorizo, and eggs are cooked on a flat top. The whole thing is topped with fresh cilantro.

The fresh chorizo and potatoes combine to form a spicy type of hash, the main flavor of the dish. It is then served on top of a tortilla and topped with a fried egg. You can cook the egg to your liking, but we prefer it with a slightly runny center to create a sauce.

The breakfast is served in an open-faced style, so you might want to have some extra napkins on hand. It can be eaten alone or with a variety of condiments. Try adding hot sauce, sour cream or Mexican crema, guacamole, or pico de gallo.

The use of a flat top grill makes this outdoor breakfast easy to cook all at once, however it can also be cooked in batches in a skillet or on a small griddle.

The potatoes are diced then cooked on the grill. If the cubes are too big they won’t cook all the way through.

This is a great family camp breakfast where a chorizo and potato hash is served on a tortilla then topped with a fried egg. It looks as good as it tastes.

This taco is served in an ‘open-faced’ style where the eater can form it into a standard taco or eat it with a knife and fork.
