Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

4 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup cooked and crumbled chorizo (or your protein choice)

1/2 cup green chilies (canned or fresh, diced)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients:

    - Gather all the ingredients. Chop the spinach finely, dice the green chilies into small pieces, and slice the avocado into thin wedges for easy layering.

      Cook the Chorizo:

        - Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled chorizo. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chorizo is browned and crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside, leaving the flavorful drippings for the next steps.

          Sauté the Spinach:

            - In the same skillet, add the olive oil and chopped spinach. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Remove the sautéed spinach from the skillet and set aside with the cooked chorizo.

              Scramble the Eggs:

                - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced green chilies, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, cooking over medium-low heat. Stir gently with a spatula until the eggs are just set and still slightly creamy, then remove from the heat.

                  Warm the Tortillas:

                    - In a separate dry skillet, toast the corn tortillas over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until they are pliable and slightly toasted. This step enhances their flavor and prevents tearing when filled.

                      Assemble the Tacos:

                        - Take a warm tortilla and layer it with a generous scoop of scrambled eggs. Follow with a portion of the sautéed spinach and crispy chorizo. Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta cheese on top, adding slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve the breakfast tacos warm, accompanied by lime wedges for a burst of fresh citrus. Squeeze lime over the tacos just before enjoying for the perfect flavor balance.

                                - Presentation Tips: Arrange the tacos on a colorful platter and sprinkle additional cilantro over the top for a vibrant finish. Serve with lime wedges nestled around the tacos. Enjoy the visual appeal as much as the flavor!
