How to Make Chorizo Eggs: A Delicious and Easy Recipe

Making chorizo eggs is a quick and simple process that results in a delightful and flavorful meal. This dish can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your own chorizo eggs:

Ingredients

1/2 pound of chorizo (fresh or cured) 4 large eggs 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional) Salt and pepper to taste Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado, or cheese

Instructions

Cook the Chorizo

In a skillet, heat the chorizo over medium heat. If using fresh chorizo, you may need to add a little olive oil to help it cook. Cured chorizo should have enough fat on its own. Break up the chorizo with a spatula and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until it's browned and cooked through.

Prepare the Eggs

In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste if desired. Once the chorizo is cooked, reduce the heat to low in the skillet and pour the beaten eggs over the chorizo. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly. Scramble until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft (about 3-4 minutes).

Serve

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately. You can top the chorizo eggs with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado, or cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

Tips:

Serve chorizo eggs with warm tortillas for breakfast tacos or alongside toast for a hearty meal. Adjust the amount of chorizo based on your taste preference. Use more or less depending on how spicy you like it.

Enjoy your delicious chorizo eggs!

Kimchi Bokkeum-Bap: A Korean Scrambled Egg Dish

For those who are interested in a Korean twist, we have a recipe for Kimchi Bokkeum-Bap, which combines scrambled eggs with kimchi. This dish is both flavorful and nutritious. Here's how you can make it:

Ingredients

12 fresh corn tortillas 1 pound (about 3 large tomatoes) Roma tomatoes are fine too 1 medium red onion 1 whole head garlic olive oil for drizzling over tomatoes and garlic 1 cup canola oil for frying tortillas 1 can chipotle chilies in adobo (remove 3 chilies and store the rest of the can for later) 1 Tbsp. canola or peanut oil 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth 4 large eggs 1 bunch fresh cilantro (optional) 2 avocados (optional) 1 pint Mexican crema or sour cream (optional) 8 ounces queso fresco or cotija (optional) refried beans (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Oven and Roast the Tomatoes and Garlic

Move an oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 400°. Cut the top off of the garlic head, drizzle with a little olive oil, and set it in an oven-safe dish. Roast for 5 minutes while you prepare the tomatoes and onion. Cut the tomatoes in half. Cut the onion into 1-inch wedges. Place them in a 9 x 9 oven dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast for another 15 minutes. Cut the tortillas into triangle-shaped wedges. Heat 1 cup of oil in an oven-safe skillet until shimmering. Fry the tortilla wedges in batches until golden and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Ensure the oven is still on. Press the garlic head and squeeze the cloves out of their skins. Place the tomatoes, onions, garlic cloves, 3 chipotles in adobo, and 1 cup of broth in a food processor or blender. Pulse until just blended but not pureed. Heat 1 Tbsp. of oil in a skillet and add the prepared sauce. Stir over medium heat for about 10 minutes, adding broth as needed to get the sauce to a juicy, chunky consistency. Add the crispy tortilla chips and stir carefully to coat them. Cook until the tortillas are heated through but not broken (about 3 minutes). Taste and season with salt as needed. Make 4 little wells in the sauce and break each egg into each well. Cook for 1 minute. Then place the skillet in the oven for another minute until the eggs are cooked to your preference.

Serve

Remove from the oven and serve hot from the skillet. You can top it all with crema, cotija cheese, cilantro, avocado, refried beans, or anything else you like. Alternatively, serve the toppings in bowls for guests to make up their own plates.
