Ingredients
For the Chorizo and Eggs
- 1 lb chorizo crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk optional, for fluffier eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Crumble the chorizo into the pan and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the chorizo is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
