Instructions
Cook the Chorizo
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and break it up with a spatula, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Scramble the Eggs
Reduce heat to medium. Whisk the eggs and pour them directly into the pan with the chorizo. Stir gently with a spatula, folding the eggs into the chorizo until just set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Warm the Tortillas
While the eggs finish cooking, warm the tortillas directly over a gas burner for 20 seconds per side or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and slightly charred.
Assemble and Serve
Divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the warm tortillas. Top with shredded cheese and a spoonful of fresh salsa. Serve immediately while warm.
