Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil such as avocado oil
  • 1/2 pound Mexican chorizo bulk raw chorizo or raw chorizo sausages with casing removed
  • 1 small white onion finely diced
  • 4 ounce can diced green chiles with liquid

For Serving (Optional)

  • warm tortillas flour or corn
  • chopped cilantro
  • Fire Roasted Salsa or other salsa or hot sauce
  • sliced avocado

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk eggs with 2 tablespoons water until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (recipe note #1)
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot; add chorizo and brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fat starts to render, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until chorizo is cooked through and onions soften and start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Add diced green chiles and stir to combine.
    1/2 pound Mexican chorizo
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and pour beaten eggs evenly over chorizo mixture. When the eggs begin to set, stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, allowing them to form large, soft curds while gently incorporating the cooked meat. Continue to stir until eggs are just cooked through, but still shiny. Remove from heat. Serve hot with warm tortillas (optional) and desired toppings.

Notes

  1. Chorizo is heavily seasoned, so keep that in mind when seasoning the eggs with salt and pepper.
