Chorizo and Eggs – Brunch Two Ways
The aroma of cooking chorizo is irresistible, especially on a Sunday morning. Welcome to our Sunday brunch featuring chorizo and eggs two ways! This is a perfect meal for those who love a hearty breakfast with a little bit of spice.
The first was a tostada topped with an over-easy egg over a bed of refried beans. Huevos Con Chorizo, or street tacos with chorizo and scrambled eggs, was the second.
Both were topped with home-made pickled onions, feta cheese, cilantro, and a shake of Cholula.
The potatoes were finished with a shake of “Hard Core Carnivore Tex Mex” seasoning that ‘Mad Donkey’ introduced me to, which he uses in his off-the-chain (is that phase still used by the under-40 crowd?) Street Corn Dip – recipe coming soon!
