What goes in a breakfast taco?
Tortilla: Feel free to use either flour or corn tortillas. The best variety for breakfast tacos is the street corn size.
eggs: We love making perfect scrambled eggs for breakfast tacos. If you’re feeling cheeky, you can add some grated cheese!
breakfast sausage: We use ground chorizo for the breakfast sausage. However, you can use ground pork breakfast sausage or even a plant-based ground meat.
Refried beans: We made our own bean sauce with pinto beans, shallots, and garlic, but you can easily buy store-bought bean sauce.
toppings: While you can top your breakfast tacos with whatever your heart desires, we used homemade pico de gallo, crema, and hot sauce.

Easy exchange
Chorizo -> other proteins like breakfast sausage patties, ground turkey, beef taco meat, plant-based ground beef, or bacon.
Scrambled eggs –> fried eggs, over-medium sized eggs or no eggs at all!
Refried Beans -> Pinto or black beans or no beans at all.

instructions
-
Prepare pico de gallo. Start by adding all the ingredients for the pico de gallo to a bowl. Put the bowl in the fridge.
-
Prepare the refried beans. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot to the pan and season with ¼ teaspoon salt. Sweat the shallot for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
-
Add the pinto beans and 3 tablespoons of the pinto bean liquid to the pan and cook the beans for 4-5 minutes. Mash the pinto beans with the back of a fork until mashed. Stir the mashed beans and remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and cover for later. If the beans are a bit dry when serving, add 1-2 tablespoons more of the bean liquid.
-
Prepare the ground chorizo. Use the same pan. Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in pan and heat over medium/high heat. Add the ground chorizo and break up the chorizo with a spatula. Cook until fully cooked. Place the chorizo in a bowl.
-
Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. If your stovetop gets hot, move to the lower side and heat to medium/low heat.
-
While the pan is preheating, whisk together the eggs and milk.
-
Add olive oil to the pan and once the oil is fragrant, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
-
Allow the eggs to partially set at the edges of the pan, then fold the eggs toward the center of the pan while they cook.
-
Without turning them completely, fold the eggs for 2-3 minutes. Cook until the eggs are fully cooked.
-
Remove from the stove and season with salt and pepper.
-
Assemble the tacos by adding pico de gallo, refried beans, chorizo, cotija cheese, and fresh avocado slices to each tortilla.
