How to Make Chorizo Con Huevos

When it's early in the morning, the last thing you want is a stressful recipe. That's why this quick and easy chorizo con huevos recipe is so perfect - it's hassle-free!

Cook the chorizo. Heat a large pan to medium heat and add your Mexican chorizo. Cook about 5-6 minutes, or until chorizo is cooked through.

Scramble the eggs. Add your eggs and scramble them up, stirring often. You want to get it all nice and mixed up. Cook until the eggs are set but still moist. Set aside.

Assemble the breakfast tacos. Warm your tortillas and spoon in the egg-chorizo mixture. Top with diced avocado, cheese and cilantro. Serve with crema and hot sauce for that extra flair.

Recipe Tips & Notes

The eggs cook quick! Once the chorizo is cooked up, the eggs cook up in very little time. Keep them moist. You don't want to dry out the eggs too much, though that would be difficult with the fat content of the chorizo, which is AWESOME, by the way.
Add the best toppings. Toppings are really based on your preference, though I prefer roasted jalapeno peppers, a bit of cheese and crema, cilantro, and of course, diced avocado, though in Mexican restaurants, I'll usually just get them plain and load them up on their homemade sauces.
Add some spice. Oh yes, don't forget the hot sauce! An absolute must! If you don't have your favorite hot sauce on hand, try making some of our homemade hot sauces.

Storage

Once cooled to room temperature, any leftover chorizo and eggs you may have will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For the best consistency, I recommend reheating in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through. The microwave will zap the life right out of your eggs!
