Instructions
Prepare Charred Ingredients
- Coat with oil and generously season all the ingredients label to be charred with salt and butter.
- Place on a preheated medium/high grill or in an oven on broil.
- Cook onions and tomatillos for the salsa verde until nicely golden brown edges start to form. Remove from heat.
- Cook the peppers until the outside is black and the skin starts to separate from the flesh. Remove the skin and seeds reserving the peppers.
Chorizo
- Using a food processor turn the roasted poblanos into a paste.
- Add them and the remainder of the ingredients in a bowl and using clean hands combine. Place in the fridge and let the flavors do their magic overnight.
Salsa Verde
- Combine all ingredients into a food processor. Pulse off and on until it reaches a nice salsa consistency. Place in a container and chill in the fridge overnight.
Let's Make Tacos!
- Heat griddle to 350 degrees. Brown the chorizo like you would hamburger. Make sure the internal temp reached 165 degrees. This should take 4-6 minutes. Once cooked reserve.
- Toss the potatoes, red bell peppers, and onions in oil then season. Place on the griddle and cook until the edges of the potatoes are brown and the inside is soft. This takes around 7-10 minutes. When finished reserve.
- Add some oil to the griddle and cook the eggs any way you like them. We like them sunny side up. Reserve the cooked eggs and clean the griddle.
Finish Line
- Lightly brown each tortilla.
- Fill each with about a 1/4 cup of chorizo. Then place an egg in each one. Top the tortillas off with the sliced avocado, salsa verde, diced tomatoes, and extra cilantro. Feel free to add any of your favorite taco toppings.
- ENJOY!
