This dish was originally developed as a use for left over taco components like broken shells, meat, cheese and cut vegetables. Over time it morphed into a version of chorizo and eggs, combined with vegetables that are quick pickled in white balsamic vinegar, and includes a chipotle/lime sour cream instead of cheese.
