Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225 g) chorizo sausage, casings removed
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
- 1/4 cup (25 g) chopped onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup (25 g) chopped bell pepper (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 6-8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Salsa, avocado, and lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chorizo:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and browned, about 8-10 minutes. If the chorizo releases too much oil, drain some out but leave a little in the pan for flavor.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- If using, add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and scrambled, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the eggs; they should be soft and creamy.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by heating them directly over a gas flame, in a dry skillet, or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Divide the chorizo and egg mixture among the warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with salsa, avocado slices, and lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Chorizo and Eggs with Tortillas fresh and hot for a delicious start to your day! This dish is not only satisfying but also packed with protein and flavor, making it a perfect choice for any meal.
Tips:
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce.
- You can also add some shredded cheese on top for extra richness.
- This recipe is versatile and can be adapted to include your favorite vegetables or toppings.
