Chorizo and potatoes with eggs 🤤🤤🤤🤤

My parents use yogurt ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Honestly a full fat extra sour natural yogurt like the way Indians make it isn’t thaaaat far off from cheap sour cream.
oh my god how could I forget the thick base layer of sour cream, spread around the entirety of the tortilla so that literally every bite has a huge dollop of
I think I just had a dissociative flashback.
