Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until just set, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cooked chorizo and mix well.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tortas

    Slice the tortas in half and lightly toast them if desired. Layer the egg and chorizo mixture on the bottom half of each torta.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the egg and chorizo with caramelized onions, roasted peppers, and crumbled queso fresco. Drizzle guajillo salsa on top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cover with the top half of the torta and serve immediately, with extra guajillo salsa on the side if desired.
