Directions
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set them aside for a moment. Heat up a skillet over medium heat, then toss in the tortilla slices and chorizo. Keep stirring everything around until the tortillas get nice and crispy, which should take about 5 minutes. Once that’s done, lay the cheese slices over the chorizo and tortillas, then pour the beaten eggs over everything. Turn the heat down to low and gently stir as the eggs cook, making sure they don’t dry out—this usually takes around 3 minutes. Season with a bit of salt and pepper to your liking, and finish it off with some chopped chives for a fresh touch. Enjoy!
Serving Inspiration
Serve with fresh salsa, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Adding a side of refried beans or a simple salad can balance the meal nicely. A drizzle of hot sauce can also enhance the flavors if you like extra heat.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery. Tortillas are best stored separately and warmed fresh before serving.
