Ingredients

For the taco filling

8 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed
6 large eggs room temperature if possible
1/4 cup heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-light option
2 tablespoons butter or ghee
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese divided
1 medium avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced or diced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste

For the keto taco shells

4 keto coconut flour tortillas about 6 inches each, or use sturdy romaine or butter lettuce leaves for a no-tortilla option

Optional toppings

1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons diced radishes for crunch
1 lime cut into wedges for serving
1/4 cup sugar-free salsa or hot sauce to taste

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Cook the chorizo for about 5 to 7 minutes until it is browned, crumbly, and fragrant, then push it to one side of the pan or transfer to a plate, leaving some rendered fat in the skillet.
Add the butter to the skillet with the chorizo drippings and let it melt over medium to medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, scraping from the edges toward the center to create soft curds.
When the eggs are just starting to set but still slightly glossy, fold the cooked chorizo back through the eggs and cook another minute until the eggs are softly set but not dry.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle about half of the shredded cheese over the hot chorizo and eggs so it begins to melt.
Warm the coconut flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or in the microwave between two damp paper towels for a few seconds until pliable, or lay out the lettuce leaves if using them as wraps.
Divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the tortillas or lettuce leaves, arranging it in a line down the center of each.
Top each taco with avocado slices, the remaining shredded cheese, and any desired toppings such as sour cream, cilantro, radishes, salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve the tacos immediately while warm, and store any leftover chorizo and egg mixture separately from the tortillas or lettuce in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

For an ultra-low carb option, choose lettuce leaves instead of coconut flour tortillas, which reduces net carbohydrates per serving and adds extra crunch. If you are sensitive to spice, select a mild chorizo or mix half chorizo and half ground pork to soften the heat while keeping the flavor. To meal prep, cook the chorizo and eggs ahead of time and store them in individual portions, then reheat gently in a skillet over low heat and assemble fresh with avocado and toppings just before serving. Always verify that your chorizo, salsa, and tortillas are sugar-free to keep the recipe strictly keto.
