Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Roma tomato, finely chopped
- ½ white onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 9-12 ounces pork chorizo
- 6 large eggs
- kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For serving
- queso fresco or cotija cheese
- chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the tomatoes and onions and cook for 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the tomatoes start to soften.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Remove the chorizo from the casing and add it to the skillet. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, crumble it up into small pieces and saute for 8 minutes until fully cooked through. If the chorizo is extra fatty and lets out a lot of grease (it likely will), feel free to drain off any excess fat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Pour them into the skillet and let them cook for about 30 seconds. Then, continue gently stirring until the eggs are just cooked through.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with queso fresco and cilantro, and serve immediately.
