Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 pound chorizo
  • 1 large red pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Dice up the pepper and onion into small pieces.
  • Remove chorizo from casing and set aside.
  • Beat ten eggs in a bowl with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of pepper.  Set aside.
  • Heat a large pan on medium heat with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.  Saute peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes to soften.
  • Add chorizo to pan and saute for 10-15 minutes to cook the pork all the way through.  Break up the chorizo with a wooden spoon into small pieces.
  • When chorizo is cooked through add beaten eggs to pan and scramble everything together for 3-4 minutes.  Cook your eggs to how runny or dry you prefer. 
  • While the chorizo and eggs are finishing, heat up some tortillas, wash some cilantro, and serve some crema or sour cream on the side.
  • Plate the eggs and serve.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • If chorizo can not be found hot Italian sausage could be substituted. 
  • Chorizo is quite salty, so go easy on extra salt.
