Taco Tuesday: Chorizo & Egg Tacos

The first time I ate chorizo was sometime last year, at one my office staff meetings. For whatever reason, I thought it was some gross concoction of animal parts that only weird people ate. I was wrong. So wrong. I actually really love it! I still had never bought it, but I needed some for the Tinga Poblana Tacos I made recently, and with the leftover, I decided to make a version of the taco that first introduced me to this delicious meat. Chorizo and Egg. Simple enough, right? But instead of breakfast, I made them for dinner!

I'm not a big breakfast-for-dinner kinda gal, but these tacos definitely earned their place on my dinner menu. Such a simple taco, but so filling and delicious. And with a few added toppings...the flavors were outstanding. Cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and hot sauce...yes please! You can have these babies on the table in under 10 minutes!!!
