# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add tortilla pieces and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil.

In the same pan, add chorizo and chilorio. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring, until fat renders and mixture is fragrant.

Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk. Pour eggs into the pan with the meats and stir rapidly to combine. Return fried tortillas to the pan, season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
04 -
Continue to cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Do not cover pan to maintain tortilla crispness.
05 -
Remove from heat. Top with coriander, tomatoes, and onions if desired. Serve immediately with refried beans, lime wedges, and your choice of salsa.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Use slightly stale corn tortillas for improved texture when frying.
02 -
Tortilla chips may be substituted for homemade fried tortillas to save time, but adjust salt accordingly.
03 -
For a vegetarian preparation, omit chorizo and chilorio and increase egg quantity as desired.
