Spanish Classic Chorizo & Eggs

Today we will learn how to make a dish my grandmother used to make me when I was a young boy.
We are making a classic Spanish breakfast called Chorizo and Eggs, this is a mouth-watering way to serve up those eggs.

Now my grandmother served them up with tortillas but we are tossing those and replacing it with a side of yummy sauteed veggies and lettuce wraps.

Ingredients    (Serves 2)

Chorizo and Eggs 

  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ pound Mexican chorizo sausage
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 bell pepper, any color
  • 4 tbsp. queso fresco
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Crack a few eggs into a bowl and whisk, then chop the veggies, the tomato, bell pepper, and green onion.
  • Next Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and once it’s hot, add the butter. Then add in the chopped veggies and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for around 8-10 minutes, or until tender, then set aside in a covered dish.
  • Next, remove the chorizo from the casing, (chorizo is a like a spicy savory sausage), squeeze it out of the casing and add it to the skillet. Cook for around 3-4 minutes, make sure to move it around to avoid burning. Once it has browned, add the whisked eggs and mix in. Let it all cook together for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Finally, serve the veggies and the chorizo and eggs plus crumble some queso fresco on top.
  • You can also add low-carb salsa or hot sauce if you want a bit of extra kick to it.
You can have this delicious dish with your morning coffee or even for dinner you can also use a lettuce wrap as a substitute for tortillas.
