Chorizo and Eggs Recipe
Report
Scrambled eggs with chorizo served with a stack of hot tortillas and a great salsa is a favorite breakfast throughout Mexico. It's really easy to prepare and you can have it on the table in under 30 minutes. We love it as a start to our Saturday or Sunday morning.

Notes
- Ingredients
- Cooking
- Serving
- Chorizo is a seasoned Mexican style pork sausage available in most supermarkets. It is spicy but not hot. Each brand has a different flavor. Try a few until you find your favorite.
- You can substitute Soyrizo, a soy protein-based chorizo if you want to reduce the fat in the dish.
- If there is too much fat remaining after cooking the chorizo for about 5 minutes you can drain the fat before adding the eggs.
- Mexican chorizo needs to be fully cooked before eating.
- You can top your eggs with cheese if you'd like. Ranchero cheese is a good choice.
