Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook and break up the chorizo over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until mostly cooked. Add onion and continue stirring until onions start to soften but remain somewhat crisp, 5 minutes.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add the oil, vinegar, sugar, and 2 TB water. Stir to incorporate, adding a dash or two more of oil and vinegar if it seems too dry. Season with salt to taste.
