  1. Dice up the pepper and onion into small pieces.
  2. Remove chorizo from casing and set aside.
  3. Beat ten eggs in a bowl with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of pepper.  Set aside.
  4. Heat a large pan on medium heat with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.  Saute peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes to soften.
  5. Add chorizo to pan and saute for 10-15 minutes to cook the pork all the way through.  Break up the chorizo with a wooden spoon into small pieces.
  6. When chorizo is cooked through add beaten eggs to pan and scramble everything together for 3-4 minutes.  Cook your eggs to how runny or dry you prefer. 
  7. While the chorizo and eggs are finishing, heat up some tortillas, wash some cilantro, and serve some crema or sour cream on the side.
  8. Plate the eggs and serve.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • If chorizo can not be found hot Italian sausage could be substituted. 
  • Chorizo is quite salty, so go easy on extra salt.
