🔪 How To Make Chorizo And Eggs

Some people prefer their scrambled eggs soft and some prefer them fully cooked and a bit more firm, it's up to you how much you cook them! All you need is a frying pan, a wooden spoon, a bowl, and a whisk.

  1. Cook the chorizo. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and beginning to shimmer, add 9 ounces of chorizo sausage to the pan. Take a wooden spoon and break up the sausage as it cooks. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked through and slightly crispy (about 7 minutes).
  2. Scramble eggs. As the chorizo cooks, crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt if desired (keep in mind that chorizo fairly salty already). Scramble the eggs with a whisk.
  3. Add eggs to pan. Pour the scrambled eggs right into the pan with the chorizo and stir to combine.
  4. Cook the eggs. Allow the eggs to cook until they are set to your liking then serve immediately.

If you really want to show off, make some homemade flour tortillas from scratch! Offering a side of pico de gallo and salsa roja is always a great option. Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • You can make the chorizo go further by using more eggs to serve a larger crowd (up to a dozen eggs).
  • While I love getting my hands on really good quality chorizo, the longer chubs of them (as in the photo) are readily available at most grocery stores. 
  • Storing: Leftover chorizo and eggs should be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet over medium heat.
  • Freezing: To freeze chorizo and eggs, allow it to cool then place it in Ziplock freezer bags. Enjoy within 3 months. Thaw frozen chorizo and eggs in the refrigerator overnight.
