How to Make Mexican Scramble

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound chorizo sausage, crumbled, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Whisk together 6 large eggs with 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo, onion, and bell pepper.
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, avocado, sour cream, or hot sauce.
