How to Make Huevos Chorizo Scramble Chorizo Eggs

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 pound chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 2-3 serrano chilies (or jalapeños), finely chopped, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the chorizo and onion mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost set.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Continue cooking for another minute until the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve immediately. Enjoy the chorizo and egg mixture on its own with avocado and salsa, or spoon it into warm flour tortillas and top with avocado and salsa for a delicious breakfast burrito.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
