Method

  1. Put the sliced red onion into a small bowl and pour over the red wine vinegar and half the lime juice. Sprinkle over a pinch of salt and toss to coat the onion. Set aside.
  2. Cut the chorizo sausages open with a sharp knife and remove the sausagemeat from its casings. Place a large frying pan over a low-medium heat, crumble in the chorizo and cook for 6-8 mins, until the chorizo is golden and crisp and has released its oil. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain, leaving the oil in the pan. Remove from the heat.
  3. Whilst the chorizo is cooking, spoon the avocado flesh out into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the remaining lime juice, crushed garlic, chilli flakes and half the coriander. Season to taste.
  4. Warm the tortillas. Return the pan to a low heat. Add the eggs and cook gently, stirring and folding, until scrambled.
  5. Divide the tortillas between plates and add a spoonful of avocado, followed by the eggs and chorizo. Drain the onion and sprinkle over the top, followed by the feta and remaining coriander.
