Instructions

    Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Add the finely chopped white onion and tomatillos, cooking gently until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the cured chorizo, season with dried oregano, and cook until just done, about 15 mins.

    Warm the corn tortillas alongside, turning once, until heated through and lightly toasted.

    Plate the corn tortillas and spoon the cooked mixture over the top.

Tips

Make a double batch — leftovers reheat beautifully for a quick weekday breakfast.

Prep the corn tortillas and cured chorizo the night before to make busy mornings much easier.
