Step-by-Step Instructions for Mexican Eggs Benedict
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add your Mexican chorizo. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart until browned and crispy. Set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, lightly toast your corn tortillas for about 1–2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Set aside.
  3. Bring water to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan, add a splash of white vinegar. Poach the eggs for about 3–4 minutes.
  4. For the hollandaise, set up a double boiler and whisk the egg yolks and lime juice until they lighten, approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until the hollandaise thickens, then stir in chipotle pepper and salt.
  6. On each toasted tortilla, layer chorizo, followed by avocado slices, then place a poached egg on top.
  7. Drizzle the chipotle hollandaise over each poached egg and garnish with cilantro or smoked paprika. Serve immediately.
