- Step 3.Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low gas flame until flexible and lightly toasted.
- Step 4.Stack the warm tortillas in a clean towel so they remain soft while the eggs cook.

- Step 6.Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the eggs.
- Step 7.Cook slowly, sweeping a spatula through the pan to form soft curds, and remove from heat while the eggs still look slightly moist.
- Step 8.Divide the eggs among the warm tortillas and immediately sprinkle each portion with cheese so it begins to melt.
- Step 9.Top with chorizo, avocado, pico de gallo, cilantro, and hot sauce according to taste.
- Step 10.Fold the tacos gently and serve immediately while the tortillas are warm and the eggs are tender.
