Let’s start making Chorizo con Huevo Recipe 

Ingredients 

Oil– You can use any oil, such as avocado, canola, vegetable, or olive oil.

Eggs

LonganIza– You can use any chorizo.

Instructions 

1. Add eggs to a medium bowl, whisk with a fork until well mixed and yellow in color, and set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add longaniza by hand, breaking it apart. Use a spatula or cooking spoon to continue breaking apart. Cook until the chorizo has changed from orange to a darker brown. The texture will appear like ground beef, and it is heated for about 5-10 minutes. 

3. Reduce the heat to medium, then add your scrambled eggs to the cooked longaniza for 6-8 minutes. Cook slowly and move around until the eggs are cooked to your desire. You know they are cooked when they are no longer runny.
