Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chorizo sausage
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the onion and bell peppers into small, even pieces for quick cooking. Mince the garlic finely. This prep helps build layers of flavor right from the start.
  2. Cook the Chorizo: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the chorizo. Break it apart using a spatula and cook until browned and crispy edges form, about 5 to 7 minutes. The rendered fat will infuse the dish with deep flavor.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet with the chorizo. Stir frequently and cook until vegetables soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. This step adds sweetness and balances the spicy richness.
  4. Add the Eggs: Crack eggs directly into the skillet over the chorizo and vegetables. Gently stir to combine but keep some chunkiness for texture. Cook until eggs are just set but still moist, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
  5. Season and Garnish: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro or parsley on top for a fresh, herbal lift before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh chorizo for better flavor and texture compared to pre-cooked varieties.
  • Adjust spice level by choosing mild or hot chorizo according to your preference.
  • Cook over medium heat to avoid burning and develop maximum flavor.
  • Do not overmix the eggs; stir gently to keep them fluffy and tender.
  • Add fresh herbs only after cooking to preserve their aroma and color.
