Ingredients
  

  • 200 g beef or turkey chorizo crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup queso fresco crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil if needed
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt optional, chorizo is already seasoned
  • Hot sauce to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat and allow it to warm up evenly for a minute or two before adding anything. This helps the chorizo cook properly and prevents sticking.
  • Add the crumbled chorizo to the skillet and begin cooking it, using a spatula to break it apart into small pieces as it cooks. Continue until it is fully browned and slightly crispy, which will enhance both flavor and texture.
  • As the chorizo cooks, you may notice it releasing grease. If there’s too much, carefully remove a small amount using a spoon, but leave some in the pan to keep the dish flavorful and moist.
  • In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This step helps create a smoother, more consistent texture when cooking.
  • Pour the whisked eggs directly into the skillet with the cooked chorizo, spreading them evenly across the pan so they cook uniformly.
  • Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently begin stirring with a spatula. Move slowly to form soft, creamy curds instead of breaking them up too much.
  • Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and gently. This prevents the eggs from drying out and keeps them soft and tender.
  • Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft and creamy, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco evenly over the top of the eggs and chorizo, allowing it to soften slightly without fully melting.
  • Finish by drizzling your preferred hot sauce over the dish, then serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
