🥣 How to Make
STEP ONE: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease and return the chorizo to the skillet.
STEP TWO: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using), and season lightly with salt and pepper.
STEP THREE: Add the butter to the skillet with cooked chorizo and allow it to melt around the chorizo.
STEP FOUR: Pour the eggs into the skillet with the cooked chorizo. Cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are just set, about 4-5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite toppings and warm tortillas on the side.
⭐ Pro Tips ⭐
- Drain excess grease from the chorizo so the eggs don't become oily
- Cook the eggs gently and remove them from heat while they're still slightly soft so they'll finish setting on the plate
- Warm your tortillas before serving to make everything taste even better
- Taste the chorizo before adding salt, since it can already be well-seasoned
