Ingredients
Method
Prep the Base
- Remove casing from the chorizo (if present). Finely chop onion, tomato, and garlic. Crack eggs into a bowl and beat lightly.
Cook the Veggies & Chorizo
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onion for a minute, then add tomato and garlic—cook 1 more minute. Add crumbled chorizo and cook until most fat has rendered, about 5 minutes.
Scramble the Eggs
- Pour eggs into the pan. Let them set for a minute before gently stirring. Cook until just set—watch closely for batchy, creamy curds.
Heat Tortillas
- As the eggs finish, warm tortillas on a griddle or skillet until soft and pliable.
Warm Refried Beans
- Heat beans on the side, ideally in a small pot or microwave, until hot. Optionally top with crushed tortilla chips for a delightful crunch.
Assemble
- Divide chorizo and eggs into portions. Serve with warm tortillas, beans, chips (if using), and a side of salsa for topping and dipping.
Tortillas from Scratch (Optional)
- Combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add warm water to form dough. Let rest in sealed bag for at least 1 hour. Divide into small balls, roll out, and cook on a hot griddle until bubbles form; flip to cook both sides.
