Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup salsa (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Preparation

  • 1.

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 2.

    On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  • 3.

    While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • 4.

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs directly into the pan and scramble them over medium heat until fully cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.

  • 5.

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap them in foil and heat in the oven for a few minutes until soft.

  • 6.

    Assemble the tacos by layering the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chorizo, and scrambled eggs on each tortilla.

  • 7.

    Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and salsa if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
