How to Make Huevos Chorizo

  1. Remove the chorizo from its casing and crumble it into a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and crumbly. (About 5-7 minutes)
  3. Remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the skillet.
  4. Add the chopped onions and diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until the onions are softened and translucent, and the potatoes are slightly browned. (About 5-7 minutes).
  5. Return the chorizo to the skillet.
  6. In a bowl, whisk the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the chorizo and potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist. (About 3-5 minutes)
  8. Serve immediately with warmed tortillas, topped with shredded cheese and your favorite salsa.
