Ingredients

• 200 grams chorizo sausage (fresh or cured, depending on preference)
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional for creamier eggs)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces flour tortillas (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the chorizo: If using fresh chorizo, remove the casing and crumble it into small pieces. If using cured chorizo, dice it into small cubes.

Step 2

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil to coat the pan, then add the chorizo.

Step 3

3. Cook the chorizo for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through. If using fresh chorizo, ensure it is fully cooked and rendered.

Step 4

4. While the chorizo is cooking, crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are fully beaten and frothy.

Step 5

5. Once the chorizo is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the other side of the skillet.

Step 6

6. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs as they cook to form soft curds. Gradually mix the chorizo into the eggs as they begin to set, ensuring the eggs and sausage are evenly combined.

Step 7

7. Cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as the eggs will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.

Step 8

8. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas on the side for a complete meal or enjoy it as is!
