Chorizo Inspired Breakfast Tacos

Tacos for breakfast? Yes, please! These tacos combine venison flavor with a chorizo inspired seasoning blend and scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese, diced onions, cilantro and avocado. Chorizo is traditionally a highly seasoned pork sausage that is very popular in both Mexican and Spanish cooking.  It works so well with venison, wild hog, or virtually any other game meat. These tacos definitely won’t disappoint whether you're at home in your kitchen or hosting a party for friends.
