Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked chorizo
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Maple syrup for mochi waffles
- 1 cup mochi flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the mochi waffle batter first by whisking mochi flour, milk, and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray. Pour mochi batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- While waffles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, breaking into small pieces, about 5-6 minutes.
- In another pan, crack eggs and cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds on each side to enhance flavor and flexibility.
- Assemble tacos by placing cooked chorizo in tortillas, topping with fried eggs, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese.
- Plate mochi waffles alongside breakfast tacos, drizzle waffles with maple syrup.
- Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or green onions if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Mix your mochi waffle batter 10-15 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to fully hydrate, ensuring a smoother, more consistent texture.
- Chorizo Perfection: Use high-quality chorizo and cook it until it's crispy and slightly caramelized for maximum flavor intensity.
- Egg Technique: For picture-perfect sunny-side-up eggs, use a non-stick pan and cover briefly to ensure whites are fully cooked while keeping yolks beautifully runny.
- Tortilla Pro Tip: Warming tortillas directly over a gas flame adds a subtle smoky flavor and improves their flexibility for easier taco assembly.
- Presentation Matters: Arrange your tacos and waffles artfully on the plate, and don't forget a sprinkle of fresh herbs for that professional chef touch.
- Temperature is Key: Serve immediately while everything is hot to enjoy the perfect contrast of crispy waffles and warm, savory tacos.
