Method

Breakfast

  1. 1

    Prepare chorizo

    If using raw Mexican chorizo, remove the casing and crumble into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

  3. 3

    Add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

  4. 4

    Stir in the crumbled chorizo and cook 5-6 minutes, pressing to break up pieces and letting the fat render.

  5. 5

    Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook 1 minute until fragrant, stirring to coat the sausage and vegetables.

  6. 6

    Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt (to taste). Pour over the chorizo and vegetables in the skillet.

  7. 7

    Cook the eggs, gently folding the mixture as it sets, until just barely set and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

  8. 8

    If using cheese, sprinkle over the top and cook 1 minute until melted. Adjust salt if needed.

  9. 9

    Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot, with warm tortillas or toast.
