Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ½ lb chorizo
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Remove the chorizo from the plastic or casing and place it in a frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Use the back of a spoon to break it up into smaller pieces and cook for about 7 minutes until cooked through.
- If the chorizo releases too much oil, remove some of the excess, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. However, if the chorizo did not release much oil, then add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet.
- Use a fork to scramble eggs in a separate bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Lower heat to medium low.
- Pour eggs of over the chorizo. Stir the eggs and chorizo until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Serve by themselves or with a side of homemade pinto beans or refried beans, and corn or flour tortillas.
