What’s chorizo and eggs?

Chorizo and eggs is a Mexican dish called huevo con chorizo.

Seasoned eggs are scrambled and enriched with spiced chorizo sausage.

It’s prepared with Mexican chorizo, which is nothing like the Spanish chorizo.

However, I like to use Spanish chorizo, as you can see in the pictures and video because it’s convenient and cured.

Mexican Chorizo requries more cooking in the skillet.

You are free to choose your chorizo variety for this recipe.

Mexican VS Spanish VS other Chorizo

Mexican chorizo comes in a casing and has to be taken out of the casing before it can be cooked. It then looks more like ground sausage.

Spanish Chorizo is cured and hard spiced sausage. The skin can be peeled off and the sausage is cut into slices. Portugues chorizo is the same consistency. Spanish is easier to use because it’s cured and doesn’t need to cook much.

Other chorizo varieties exist all around the world, such as the Goan Pork Chorizo in India. Those can be used in this recipe too.

I love scrambled eggs and chorizo with a green salad and freshly baked bread.

Muffins would go well with it too.

I bet that baked beans and bacon would be tasty too.

Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Cumin ground
  • 1 Tablespoon Cilantro fresh chopped, or parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Lard or Butter
  • 1 cup Chorizo Sausage Spanish or Mexican, *see Notes
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine the eggs and the seasoning. The salt, black pepper, onion and garlic powder, ground cumin, and freshly chopped cilantro or parsley.
  • Scramble egg with seasoning. Keep aside
  • Prepare your chorizo. If you use Spanish style cured chorizo, take off the skin and cut into half or quarter, and slice. If you use Mexican Chorizo, take raw meat out of the casing.
  • Heat up a skillet over medium to high flame and melt the lard or butter.
  • Pour scrambled seasoned egg into the hot skillet and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until it doesn't look super liquid anymore. Start to scramble the egg.
  • Takedown the heat to medium and make some space in the center. Stir sausage into the pan.
  • Stir cook sausage with scrambled eggs over a medium heat setting, until the meat and eggs are cooked through.
  • Serve up hot.

Notes

You can use Spanish or Mexican chorizo. I used Spanish cured chorizo cut into slices. Mexican chorizo has to be removed from the casing and needs a little longer in the pan to coo through.

Equipment
