Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 ghost peppers chopped (or use even hotter, like scorpions, 7 pot or Carolina Reapers)
  • 6 ounces hot chorizo
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon hot chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 28- ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 5 eggs
  • Queso fresco and chopped herbs for serving
  • Your favorite hot sauce

Instructions

  • Heat a 10-inch skillet to medium heat and add chili oil.
  • Add onion and peppers. Cook them down 6-7 minutes, until they are nicely browned and beginning to caramelize.
  • Add the chorizo and stir. Cook about 5 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
  • Add the chili flakes, oregano, cumin and a bit of salt and pepper. Stir.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir it all up.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes to let the flavors develop nicely.
  • With a small spoon, form 5 small indentations for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the indentations. Spoon a bit of the sauce over the egg whites to help them set.
  • Simmer about 15 minutes, or until the eggs whites have set. Cover if you'd like to speed up the process.
  • Remove from heat and let sit a couple more minutes for the yolks to set to your preference.
  • Top with fresh herbs and crumbles queso fresco. Serve with crusty bread and your favorite hot sauce.
