Scramble and Finish
Sauté 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers (any color) and/or 1 diced jalapeño along with the onion for extra flavor, texture, and nutrients.
For a more filling dish, add 1 cup of finely diced, pre-cooked potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo. Let them crisp up for a few minutes before adding the onion and proceeding with the recipe.
Substitute the pork chorizo with an equal amount of plant-based soy chorizo (soyrizo). The cooking process remains the same, though you may need to add a little oil as soyrizo is often less fatty.
Eggs and pork chorizo provide a significant amount of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, satiety, and maintaining steady energy levels.
Eggs are an excellent source of B vitamins, particularly B12 and riboflavin, which are crucial for converting food into energy and supporting brain function.
Both eggs and pork are good sources of selenium, a powerful antioxidant mineral that helps protect cells from damage and supports a healthy immune system and thyroid function.
It can be part of a balanced diet in moderation. While it's high in protein, it's also typically high in saturated fat and sodium from the chorizo. To make it healthier, choose a leaner chorizo, drain off more fat, and serve with whole-grain tortillas and fresh toppings like avocado and salsa.
A typical serving (about 1 cup) contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the fat content of your chorizo and whether you add cheese. This estimate does not include tortillas or other accompaniments.
It is not recommended. Mexican chorizo is a raw, spiced ground sausage that must be cooked. Spanish chorizo is a cured, firm sausage that is typically sliced and eaten as is. Using it would result in a completely different texture and flavor profile.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick skillet over low heat or in the microwave in 30-second intervals to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
It's most famously served with warm corn or flour tortillas for making breakfast tacos. It also pairs wonderfully with refried beans, avocado slices, pico de gallo, cotija cheese, and a side of breakfast potatoes.
