Seriously, if you aren’t making breakfast tacos, you are missing out on a quick and delicious meal. Everything you want in a tortilla!! These are loaded with potatoes, chorizo, Hatch Green Chile, eggs and cheese! All the delicious ingredients that make a perfect breakfast. You could have added refried beans to the tortilla before you piled on all the other ingredients. Fresh diced tomatoes and even shredded lettuce would have been great also and of course, sliced avocados. I didn’t know if I’d eat a whole avocado, I already had a half in the refrigerator that I had kept too long, so I didn’t want to waste the other half. And honestly, probably the real reason is that I don’t think the avocado would have really enhanced these tacos. There are so many flavors going on in these tacos.

breakfast tacos with potato, eggs, chorizo, cheese & hatch green chile.
The Hatch Green Chile’s I used we’re fresh/roasted that I had frozen. I just used a couple in this recipe. I always have green chile ready to use in my freezer. I purchased these from my local HEB in Texas, who roast them for you during season. When I can’t get them fresh/roasted I order them on line and one of my favorite companies the Hatch Chile Company. Here’s the link for them: https://www.hatchchileco.com/.
I topped these with Mexican Cacique Brand Mexican Crema and my new favorite salsa verde by el tucan. elBesides Breakfast Tacos, I make casseroles, enchiladas, salsas, etc., with the green chile. You have to try my Green Chile Enchiladas! Here’s the link for that recipe! https://the2spoons.com/new-mexico-hatch-green-chile-beef-enchiladas/.
Here’s the recipe for these favorite breakfast tacos! Enjoy!
quick breakfast tacos with potato, eggs, chorizo, cheese & hatch green chile.
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato, diced small
- oil for pan frying the potatoes
- 6 oz chorizo
- 1 can hatch green chile
- 4 eggs beaten
- cheese of your choice (I prefer medium cheddar or Monterrey jack)
- salsa for serving
- Mexican Crema (optional)
- avocado, sliced (optional)
- salt and pepper
- 4 Flour or corn tortillas (I used homemade flour)
Instructions
- Peel and dice your potato. Heat a non stick skillet and add just enough oil to cover the bottom. Add your diced potatoes , a little salt and pepper to the skillet and allow them to brown a little on medium heat. Turn them and place a lid on the potatoes and lower the heat. Allow them to cook with the lid on at a low heat until tender. Remove the lid, turn you heat up and finish browning, turning and flipping them.
- If your skillet is large enough, move the potatoes to one side and add the chorizo to the other. Cook the chorizo for a few minutes until done. You can also remove the potatoes, then add them back in after your chorizo is cooked through. Combine the potatoes and chorizo.
- Whisk your eggs with a little salt and pepper. The chorizo is a little salty, so lightly. Move the potatoes and chorizo to one side and pour your eggs in. Allow them to start to set on the bottom, then with a spatula, fold over continuously until set. Don't over cook. Combine the ingredients and top with your choice of cheese.
- Heat your tortillas in a hot skillet or a gridle. Fill the tortillas with the mixture. Fill each tortilla with the mixture. Top with your favorite salsa and Mexican crema or sour cream if desired. Serve sliced avocado along side.
