Ah, time for some chorizo and eggs again. This time I spiced it up for more of a southwestern flavor. But then, just the mention of chorizo sausage screams southwestern!
I’m still having a hard time finding really authentic chorizo that I was always used to getting in Texas, but I’ll find it! You can count on that! It seems most of what you find here in Wisconsin is more of the Spanish version of chorizo. It’s more of a dry sausage, where Mexican chorizo is more greasy and softer.
This is intended to be a single serving. However, it could serve 2 small portions.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 link Mexican chorizo sausage
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Preparation
- In a bowl, break the 3 eggs and scramble. Now put in the chopped onions, cheese and spices and mix this together.
- In a skillet, remove the chorizo sausage from the casing and fry on medium high. As the chorizo heats up, it will start to break down and the grease will start lightly covering the bottom of the skillet. I generally help break it up with my spatula.
- Once the chorizo is fried up, (about 3 to 5 minutes), add the egg mixture into the skillet and quickly mix together. Continue cooking until done.

This looks incredible! I love spicy chorizo sausage. I have to give this a try this weekend!
Awesome! I know you’ll love it! This is a mighty big portion by the way!
Now this is a way I could actually eat eggs! They are not my favorite, but add Chorizo and spice – yes please!
my husband will love these!
If you have the right chorizo, it’s a killer breakfast!
YUM! This sounds ridiculously good!
oooh – this looks great Curt. I have been thinkin of making my own chorizo sometime in the next little bit. Have you ever tried to make it?
Hey, thanks Steve! I’ve never tried making any sausage, but since I can’t find the right stuff up here, I have been thinking of making it. Gotta be Mexican style though, not Spanish.
Happy New Year this is down home comfort food at its finest here!
Thanks Claudia. Yes indeed!
This looks like a hearty, delicious breakfast! And the pic is great too!
Reminds me of my childhood sunday mornings!
Yes indeed! I see you got a Gravatar!
Hi Curt, thanks for the inspiration! My husband and I have been enjoying a version of your recipe since I first spotted it, and I’ve posted our adaptation. It’s a nice change from the ordinary egg breakfast!
Thanks Fran. I’m so glad you liked it and were inspired to build on it. You just can’t beat the combo of chorizo and eggs!
