Tacos are great for dinner so why not make them for breakfast? These breakfast tacos are perfect if you want to spice things up for breakfast. The best part is, they are extremely easy to make, and fans of Mexican food will love them. These tacos combine chorizo sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, and salsa. Chorizo sausage is fairly spicy, so those who do not enjoy spicy foods will probably not care for this recipe. The hot sauce is totally optional but would be great if you want to add even more heat to the tacos. Enjoy.

This brought to mind another special breakfast recipe that I like to make often – my husband and I honeymooned in Maine and at a restaurant there, I had a chili cheese omlett for the first time. It was love at first bite. I like it best served with sour cream. =0)
I like the soy chorizo at Trader Joe’s its great. Sometimes it hard to find good chorizo.
Mmmm…. I love chorizo and eggs! I’ve always done this with potatoes in a burrito, but tacos sound great, too! Thanks kjH for the tip on TJ’s, I’ve been having a hard time finding Mexican chorizo since leaving the southwest (only finding Portuguese, which is more solid, like kielbasa).
