Chorizo and Eggs (Huevos con Chorizo)

Ingredients:

  • ½ lb Mexican chorizo (casings removed)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil
  • ¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Chopped cilantro, green onions, or shredded cheese (optional toppings)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease if needed.
  2. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook the eggs: Reduce heat to low, add butter or oil to the pan, then pour in the eggs. Stir gently until scrambled and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine: Mix the eggs and chorizo together, then remove from heat.
  5. Serve hot with warm tortillas, avocado, salsa, or cheese!
