Chorizo con Huevos
Practically every recipe for chorizo con huevos that you’ll see calls for little more than scrambling some eggs into some crumbled sausage. While there’s nothing wrong with that, it doesn’t take much effort to turn the dish into something a bit more interesting and nutritious that is still in keeping with its traditional preparation..
Remove the casing from some fresh, local chorizo and fry it in a dry skillet, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon.
Add a knob of whole, pastured butter, chopped onion, cumin seed and diced jalapeño and cook for a minute or two.
Add garlic, tomato, Mexican oregano and bolted coriander with seedheads and continue to cook another minute or 2.
Crack local, pastured eggs directly over the sausage and vegetables, season with S&P and cover loosely with a lid or another skillet. Cook until the eggs reach your preferred state of runniness.
Serve with fresh corn tortillas. For an extra treat, go get schooled at cheeseslave and make your own corn tortillas to go with.

Oh, you are my kind of cook! We love Mexican variations on eggs for breakfast — migas, huevos rancheros, you name it.
Thanks for sharing this in today’s Fight Back Fridays carnival.
