Ingredients
- ½ lb Mexican chorizo removed from casing
- 4 egg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- onion thinly sliced, white
- ½ avocado sliced
- cilantro several sprigs, fresh
- tortilla optional for serving, warm, and hot sauce
Notes
- I love an egg with a runny yolk, but feel free to make your eggs how you prefer. Scrambled is typical.
- If you are serving a crowd or want an even bigger breakfast, you can serve this with some refried beans and/or potatoes.
- Chorizo is generally well seasoned, but add salt and pepper at the end if needed.
- If your chorizo is extra greasy, drain some of the grease before adding the eggs, but if your chorizo doesn't give off a lot of fat, you may need to add some oil to the pan before cooking the eggs.
