Chorizo Con Huevos
(4 servings) Printable Version
- 8 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound chorizo sausage
- 1 medium onion - diced
- 2 Serrano chilies - finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch cilantro leaves - chopped
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 large avocado - mashed
- your favorite salsa
Add the onion and cook about 2 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the chilies and cook one more minute.
Beat the eggs until frothy and add to the chorizo. Stir with a fork or spatula as you would to make scrambled eggs.
Fold the cilantro in just before eggs are completely set. Serve with flour tortillas, fresh salsa, and mashed avocado.
This recipe makes 4 large servings.
* A couple notes about this dish: chorizo is somewhat salty by nature so there's no need to add salt to the eggs as might be your habit; handle the Serrano chilies carefully - be sure to remove the seeds and pith and make sure you wash your hands after chopping; for the best flour tortilla experience, place tortillas, one at a time, flat in a large non-greased fry pan over medium heat for 20 seconds per side to warm and brown.
Chorizo is a spicy Mexican pork sausage that's available in most grocery stores. "Chorizo con Huevos" translates to "Chorizo with eggs". But after you add peppers, cilantro and avocado, the proper translation becomes "chorizo with eggs!!!" with three exclamation marks.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank football for this recipe.

I make something similar, I cook mushrooms and sliced chorizo together, whilst scrambling the eggs in a separate pan. Then I stir the mushroom/chorizo mix into the eggs and eat! Nom nom nom

I prefer soyrizo vegetarian chorizo for this recipe. I'm not a vegan. I just find that veggie chorzo tastes very, very similar without the fatty texture and occasional chewy bits you get in real chorizo. Try it and I'll bet you'll like it too.

Very good breakfast without too much work. Works great with soy chorizo too. Maybe even better since it's less greasy.

You can try roasting the chorizo in a dry pan, no oil. Chorizo is naturally high in fat, which it drips when heated. As well as cutting down on calories, chorizo's melted fat is far tastier than most vegetable oils. Also, beware there are many grades of chorizo's and it always pays to go for a relatively posh one, specially if you live in a country which does not have a chorizo culture, because chorizo tends to command a star's place wherever it appears.
