Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh Mexican chorizo
  • 6 large fresh eggs
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic cloves. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and beat lightly to combine.
  2. Cook the Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Add the fresh chorizo and cook for about 5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add diced onions, minced garlic, and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo. Stir frequently and cook for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and peppers have softened.
  4. Add the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the chorizo and vegetable mixture. Allow eggs to set slightly before gently stirring. Cook to desired doneness, whether creamy and soft or fully set.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh cilantro or other preferred garnishes on top and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh Mexican chorizo for the best flavor and texture.
  • Remove the skillet from heat before eggs are fully cooked to keep them tender.
  • Adjust the spice level by removing seeds from peppers or using milder chorizo.
  • Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Using a non-stick skillet helps avoid sticking and makes stirring easier.
