Say Something Clever
Today I have for you this delicious recipe for Huevos Con Chorizo (scrambled eggs and Mexican chorizo).
As many of you may know, breakfast has always been my thing, mostly because I love eggs! This is one of my favorite dishes to make since it’s easy and always so satisfying.
It’s good to have ready made chorizo in the freezer for those days that you get the craving for a hearty breakfast. For a vegetarian option, make it with Soy Chorizo.
Using homemade lean beef chorizo lets you control the fat content, and when combined with eggs, you get a hearty, satisfying meal. Make a batch to stash in the fridge or freezer—wrap burritos or tacos in foil, then just heat them up in the microwave (and crisp them up in the toaster oven if you’re feeling fancy). This quick-cooking recipe makes mornings a whole lot easier!

Ingredients
Here is a list of the main ingredients you’ll need for this breakfast:
How To Make Huevos Con Chorizo
This is a visual overview of the steps to make this recipe. See the detailed list of ingredients & instructions in the recipe card below.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and jalapeños to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the crumbled chorizo to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until creamy.
- Add the whisked eggs into the skillet, and stir gently to mix with the chorizo.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
- Now they’re ready to be served! Serve while hot with tortillas and beans on the side.
Tips and Notes
- Use a nonstick pan: To prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan, make sure to use a high-quality nonstick pan. It also helps reduce the amount of oil in a recipe.
- Use a silicone or wood spatula: A silicone spatula works great to sweep the eggs as they cook. A flat wooden spoon works great too though!
- Don’t overcook your eggs! The eggs are done when they are no longer liquid, the curds are large and clumped together, but they still glisten with a little moisture.
- You may adjust the number of eggs and the amount of chorizo depending on preference.
Variations
- If time allows, I like to make crispy potatoes in the airfryer or in a skillet. Then I add them before I add the eggs to the chorizo.
- Make it vegan: Use my soyrizo and a plant based eggs. or any egg replacer that you like).
How to Store
- Fridge: Store leftover chorizo and eggs in an airtight container for up to three days.
- You can also freeze chorizo con huevos. You can make burritos and freeze to eat on the go! Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and heat in the microwave for a minute at the time until heated thru.
Serving Suggestions
To make chorizo con huevos a full meal, serve it with a side of refried beans and either warm corn tortillas or flour tortillas. Even though it already has veggies, topping it with a good salsa will be the perfect touch!
Need more ideas? Make burritos, breakfast tacos, breakfast tostadas, quesadillas, or add it to on top of tlacoyos. However you decide to have them, they will be a hit!

Came out perfect! Only used a little bit less chorizo, 6oz instead of 10o z and it was perfect. However if you want it more meaty you can go with the 10oz.
So good! I really enjoy the little bit of a kick the sausage gives to the eggs. I’ll definitely be making this one again!
