Notes

1. Be sure to get raw Chorizo that are like sausages which can be removed from their casing and cooked, like you would with mince (ground meat). The more common Spanish Chorizo is cured and can be sliced and eaten as is, like salami / pepperoni.

Mexican Chorizo is the authentic option but we can't get that here in Australia (as far as I know), so I make this with spicy Spanish chorizo.

If you want to make this with cured chorizo (i.e. the one you get that you can eat without cooking), then dice it as finely as you can and cook for a shorter period of time, just to brown it.

2.The nutrition is per taco and it does not take into account the fat from the chorizo that is drained so the actual calories will be lower. It also does not include the toppings

No, it's not the healthiest breakfast in the world. But if you're making these to curea hangover, then you shouldn't care!
