How to Make Eggs And Chorizo

  1. Finely chop 1/2 medium onion. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 8 ounces Mexican chorizo to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons half-and-half, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and onion. Cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Mexican breakfast!
