Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh or cooked chorizo sausage (Mexican or Spanish style)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup queso fresco or shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Dice the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic to ensure even cooking when added to the skillet.
  2. Cook the Chorizo: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 5-7 minutes until it starts to brown and releases its flavorful oils.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, balancing the spiciness of the chorizo.
  4. Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the skillet over the chorizo and vegetables. Reduce heat to low and gently scramble or cook sunny-side up, cooking until the eggs are just set but still tender.
  5. Season and Garnish: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and, if desired, chopped cilantro or cheese. Stir gently if scrambled or serve as-is if cooked sunny-side up.

Notes

  • Use fresh chorizo for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust spice level by choosing mild chorizo or adding cooling garnishes like avocado.
  • Cook eggs on low heat for tender, creamy results.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even cooking and a good sear on chorizo.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure ingredients cook evenly.
