Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh chorizo sausage
  • 6 large fresh eggs
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chorizo: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Let it cook until crispy and browned, releasing its rich oils, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the finely chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet with the cooked chorizo. Stir frequently and cook until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Eggs: Crack eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them evenly over the chorizo and veggies. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Season and Finish: Season the eggs and mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, then serve immediately while hot and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use fresh, uncooked chorizo for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook the eggs to keep them soft and tender.
  • Consider deglazing the pan with a splash of water or broth after cooking chorizo to lift flavorful bits.
  • Chop onion and bell peppers evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
