Chorizo and Beef Breakfast Tacos

I love turkey on Thanksgiving. I love turkey sandwiches the following day. Then, I am so done with turkey and all the trimmings. I always look for something spicy, without a hint of sage. The choice is usually Mexican food. Last night I made Chorizo Beef Dinner Nachos from my Sunset Magazine Recipe Challenge. They were the perfect antidote to turkey intoxication. Michael declared them delicious.

This morning, faced with leftovers from the nachos, I made Breakfast Tacos. Michael was still sleeping, so I was able to heap on the jalapeño peppers and slather the tacos with Sriracha sauce. I think this taco may have been better than the nachos.

• Brown the chorizo in a non-stick skillet until coarse and fat is rendered out. Add the ground beef and cook together until the beef is brown and crumbly. Drain off any grease.
