Equipment

  • frying pan or cast-iron skillet

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.
