Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 oz. manchego cheese, shredded
3 oz. Spanish-style chorizo
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
6 large eggs
1/4-cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper and sea salt

Steps:

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, shaking pan occasionally to assure an even distribution of cheese over the pan bottom, until the edges are lacy and toasted, about four minutes.
Remove pan from heat and allow cheese to set for about 30 seconds. Use a large heatproof spatula and tongs to carefully flip frico over and cook until the other side is golden, another two minutes. Slide frico out of the pan and onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cheese and let stand while you prepare the eggs.
Cut chorizo into half-inch dice. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat and add chorizo. Once the fat from the chorizo has started to render, after about a minute, add onion and stir. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and onion and chorizo have browned slightly. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
Whisk eggs to break up yolks and add to skillet. Add parsley to taste. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom often (this yields a soft, fluffy texture). Spoon scrambled onto plates and season to taste with pepper and salt (keep in mind that fricos are salty and chorizo is peppery). Break fricos into approximately 3-inch pieces and serve with eggs.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

6 oz mexican chorizo or spanish chorizo(sausage)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil if using spanish chorizo
10 large eggs
5 tortillas, flour (gorditas or regular) opt
cilantro, fresh (chopped) garnish opt

Steps:

1. 1. If using Spanish chorizo, remove from casings brown in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, using a fork working it constantly, and breaking up meat, 4 to 5 minutes. If using Mexican chorizo, remove from casings and cook (without oil) in skillet, working constantly with fork breaking up meat, until bubbling and completely separated, 4 to 5 minutes. 2. Whisk eggs together in a bowl and stir into chorizo. Cook, stirring, until eggs are scrambled and just set, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately, with or without Gorditas or Tortilla...

Tips:

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs and chorizo from sticking. - Cook the chorizo over medium heat to render out the fat and prevent it from becoming dry. - Use a spatula to break up the chorizo into small pieces as it cooks. - Add the eggs to the skillet once the chorizo is cooked through. - Stir the eggs and chorizo constantly until they are cooked to your desired doneness. - Season the eggs and chorizo with salt and pepper to taste. - Serve the scrambled eggs and chorizo immediately with your favorite sides, such as toast, salsa, or guacamole.
