Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 lb chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chorizo (5 minutes):
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled chorizo until it’s fully cooked and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside. Drain excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the skillet for the eggs.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture (3 minutes):
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and airy.
  3. Scramble the Eggs (5 minutes):
    Heat the skillet with the leftover chorizo fat over medium heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Let it sit, undisturbed, for a few moments, then gently stir with a spatula. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set.
  4. Combine Eggs and Chorizo (2 minutes):
    Add the cooked chorizo back to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute or two.
  5. Serve (2 minutes):
    Transfer the scrambled eggs and chorizo to plates. Top with diced avocado and red onion. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

These Mexican scrambled eggs with chorizo are a testament to the joy of simple ingredients creating extraordinary flavors.

The creamy avocado and sharp red onion provide a fresh contrast to the rich eggs and chorizo.

For an even more fulfilling meal, serve alongside warm tortillas or over a bed of seasoned rice.

Remember, the key to perfect scrambled eggs is to cook them slowly on low heat, ensuring they remain tender and fluffy. Enjoy your creation!
