Recipe tips.

We love chorizo and eggs, warm topped with fresh cilantro or Homemade Salsa (or hot sauce). Pair with corn or flour tortillas and with a side of easy Refried Beans (or Refried Black Beans).

Not all store-bought chorizos are the same. If you want a more authentic version, be sure to try our homemade chorizo recipe.

Chorizo tends to be spicy. You can dampen the heat by using a mild version or by adding sour cream or avocado.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 2 months.
