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

Notes
Heat Factor: Medium. Chorizo con Huevos can be a bit spicy because of the Mexican chorizo, though you can purchase a milder brand of chorizo. Add extra heat with a nice and spicy hot sauce, as well as sliced roasted jalapeno peppers. My favorite!
