Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz chorizo sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 medium (diced) white onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tbsp (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 small (optional) tortillas
- 1 serving (optional) hot sauce
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and add it to the pan. Break it up into small pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Cook the chorizo for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
While the onion and garlic are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook the eggs over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula to form soft, fluffy curds.
Once the eggs are about halfway cooked (still slightly runny), return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and fold it into the eggs. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the huevos chorizo with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with warm tortillas and hot sauce on the side, if desired.
