Breakfast Tacos with Potatoes and Chorizo
Tacos de Papa y ChorizoCrisp rolled tacos filled with potatoes and chorizo sausage, served with Mexican Scrambled Eggs and fresh tropical fruits (Breakfast Fruit Plate), make a memorable brunch. Packaged chorizo sausage can be greasy, so if you can't find good quality at a butcher or gourmet store, substitute Mexican Pork Sausage.
