Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g fresh or pre-cooked chorizo sausage, crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers (red, green, yellow), chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the onion, bell peppers, and garlic to ensure even cooking and flavor blending.
  2. Cook the Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil if needed. Crumble the chorizo into the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned and fragrant, releasing its spices and oils.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook together until vegetables soften and onions become translucent, stirring occasionally for flavor integration.
  4. Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly over the chorizo and veggies in the skillet. Cook slowly over low to medium heat, scrambling gently with a spatula or leaving sunny side up as preferred.
  5. Season and Finish: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Cook eggs until set to your liking. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro or grated cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh chorizo for optimal moisture and flavor.
  • Remove skillet from heat when eggs are slightly soft as they continue cooking off heat.
  • Adjust spice level by choosing mild or hot chorizo or adding fresh chili peppers.
  • A nonstick skillet ensures easier cooking and cleanup.
  • Allow skillet to rest a couple of minutes before serving to meld flavors.
