Chorizo and Eggs Recipe

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey chorizo

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey chorizo is lower in fat, while ground beef is often more affordable.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: tofu

Egg whites reduce cholesterol, and tofu is a plant-based alternative.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor with fewer calories, while processed cheese is often less expensive.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Bell peppers provide crunch without heat, and banana peppers are typically cheaper.

Chop 2 tablespoons of onion, using about three small pieces.

Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then scramble the eggs.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.

Add 1 packet of chorizo to the skillet and cook for 7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.

After 7 minutes, add the scrambled eggs to the skillet with the chorizo and cook until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes.

If making burritos, warm flour tortillas in a separate pan and fill with the chorizo and egg mixture, folding them to make burritos.

Crisp the burritos in the pan with a little oil until golden brown, about 1 minute.
