I love these tacos because they’re simple to make but have so much going on in every bite. The crispy tortilla, creamy avocado, soft scrambled eggs, and spicy chorizo make such a good combination. The lime yogurt adds a fresh touch that balances everything out. It’s one of those recipes I’d happily make for breakfast, lunch, or a quick dinner when I want something easy but still full of flavor.

FAQ

Absolutely. Black beans, mushrooms, bacon, or crispy potatoes are all great alternatives.
You can prepare the fillings ahead, but assemble the tacos just before serving so the tortillas stay crispy.
They have a little heat from the chorizo and chili flakes, but you can easily adjust the spice level to your taste.
