Cooking Steps
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the Mexican chorizo for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and crispy. Transfer to a plate and rest.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and toast the corn tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side, until slightly crispy.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add white vinegar, and poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks remain runny.
  4. Whisk together egg yolks and lime juice in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Gradually mix in melted unsalted butter until sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chipotle pepper and season with salt.
  5. On each tortilla, layer cooked chorizo, slices of avocado, and a poached egg. Drizzle chipotle hollandaise over and serve immediately.
