Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Step 1: Grab a cutting board and a sharp knife. First, wash and chop the fresh cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños.

Step 2: Open up the pork chorizo and remove the chorizo from out of the casing. Toss the casing in the trash.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo to a pan with the diced onions and a tablespoon of oil. Cook on medium heat until the chorizo is fully cooked and the onions are soft.

🔑 Sandi says: As the mixture cooks, be sure to chop the chorizo up into small pieces.

Step 3: Add the corn tortillas, egg, tomato, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook on medium heat until the eggs are starting to cook.

Step 4: Add the Cacique® Panela cheese crumbles. Continue to cook until the cheese melts and the eggs are cooked. Be sure to mix and stir with a wooden spoon so the eggs cook evenly.

Step 5: Add in the fresh cilantro and toss to cook it. Serve it hot on a plate and drizzle Cacique® Cilantro Lime Sour Cream on top!
