Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo

 From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein
 
Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo Whilst most egg recipes from Mexico use fried eggs, there are many different ways to prepare eggs, and these scrambled eggs take advantage of Mexican flavours.

Ingredients
  • 100g chorizo, crumbled or finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp oil or butter
  • 20g onion, finely chopped
  • 20g green serrano or jalapeno chillies, very finely chopped
  • 100g cooked potatoes, cut into 5mm dice
  • 8 large eggs, beaten
  • 30g Cotija or Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Small handful coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, stoned, peeled, and sliced
  • Salt
  • Your choice of salsa to serve
 
Recipe
  1. Heat a large dry frying pan and cook the chorizo briefly until it starts to give off some of its oil. Remove and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil or butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and chillies and fry them over as high heat whilst stirring all the time.
  3. Put the crumbled chorizo back in the pan, along with the diced potatoes, then cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Add the beaten eggs and cook until softly set. Season with salt.
  5. Sprinkle the eggs with grated cheese and chopped coriander and serve with some slices of avocado and your favourite salsa on the side.
