Why You’ll Love It

• High-protein and actually filling
• Freezer-friendly and meal prep approved
• Budget-friendly (around $1.50–$2.00 per taco)
• Packed with bold flavor from chorizo
• Quick reheat for busy mornings

Ingredients

• 10–12 small flour tortillas
• 8 large eggs
• ½ lb turkey sausage
• ½ lb beef chorizo
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• ½ small onion, diced
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: salsa or hot sauce

How to Make

1. Cook the meat

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and beef chorizo. Break it up and cook until browned and fully cooked through.

2. Cook the veggies

Add diced onion and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.

3. Scramble the eggs

In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat until just set (slightly soft is perfect).

👉 I like using a good nonstick skillet like this one for eggs so they stay soft and don’t stick.

4. Combine

Mix eggs, meat, and veggies together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5. Assemble tacos

Warm tortillas slightly so they don’t crack. Add filling and sprinkle cheese, then fold into tacos.

6. Cool completely

Let tacos cool before wrapping to prevent soggy tortillas.

7. Wrap and freeze

Wrap each taco in parchment paper, then store in a freezer-safe bag.

👉 If you’re making these regularly, parchment paper makes wrapping and reheating way easier.

Tips for Best Results

• Don’t overcook the eggs — they’ll cook more when reheated
• Use a 50/50 turkey + chorizo mix for balanced flavor
• Let everything cool fully before wrapping
• Slightly underfill tacos for easier wrapping
