Ok, my Mexican breakfast taco is about the most unauthentic Mexican breakfast dish ever made. But it’s actually quite tasty and it even looks pretty good. This is my take on a breakfast burrito. Chorizo and eggs are two of my favorite things. Specially if we’re talking spicy chorizo. Make sure you use Mexican chorizo. Spanish or Portuguese chorizo is a totally different thing.

You can use hard or soft taco shells. I prefer the hard ones since they give a nice crunchy contrast to the texture of the eggs and the toppings. You can do whatever you want with your Mexican breakfast taco!
