Ingredients

  • ½ lb Mexican chorizo removed from casing
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • thinly sliced white onion
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • several sprigs fresh cilantro
  • warm tortillas and hot sauce optional for serving

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.
