Ingredients
●Extra virgin olive oil or bacon fat
●1/3 cup chopped onion (green, red, or yellow onion), optional
●1/4 pound of Mexican chorizo sausage, removed from sausage casing
●3 tablespoons raisins, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and drained
●5 to 6 eggs
●Salt
●Tortillas, optional
●Cilantro, optional
Method
1.Cook the onions:
Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or bacon fat in the pan. Add the chopped onions (optional) and cook until softened.
2.Add the chorizo and raisins:
Once softened, move the onions to the side of the pan and add clumps of chorizo into the pan. Use a wooden spatula to break up the pieces of sausage. Add the raisins.
Stir until the sausage is cooked through, though not necessarily browned. If you are not using lean chorizo, drain the excess fat from the pan before proceeding.
3.Add the eggs:
Crack the eggs, one at a time, into the pan. Break the yolks and stir the eggs into the sausage. Add a light sprinkling of salt.
Stir constantly until the eggs begin to set, but are still moist. Remove from heat.
Serve immediately with a side of warmed corn tortillas and cilantro as a garnish.
