Chorizo & Grits Breakfast Bowls image

Growing up, I bonded with my dad over chorizo and eggs. My fresh approach combines them with grits and black beans for this chorizo breakfast bowl. Add a spoonful of pico de gallo for extra pop. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked chorizo chicken sausages or flavor of choice, sliced
1 large zucchini, chopped
3 cups water
3/4 cup quick-cooking grits
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
Optional: Pico de gallo and chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add zucchini; cook and stir until tender, 4-5 minutes longer. Remove from pan; keep warm. , Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in beans and cheese until blended. Remove from heat., Wipe skillet clean; coat with cooking spray and place over medium heat. In batches, break 1 egg at a time into pan. Immediately reduce heat to low; cook until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 5 minutes. , To serve, divide grits mixture among 6 bowls. Top with chorizo mixture, eggs and, if desired, pico de gallo and cilantro.
