Preparation Process:
1. Prep the Tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas briefly on a griddle or in a skillet. This will make them pliable and easier to work with.
2. Sauté the Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the chorizo is browned and the vegetables are softened.
3. Assemble the Breakfast Tacos: Divide the chorizo mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each tortilla with a generous amount of whisked eggs.
4. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over the eggs.
5. Cook to Perfection: Place the assembled tacos on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve with Zest: Once the tacos are ready, plate them and top with Cotija cheese, cilantro, salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, and lime wedges.
