Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the onion and bell peppers finely, along with mincing the garlic. Crumble or slice the chorizo, ensuring it’s ready for the skillet. This step can take about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle a splash of olive oil, allowing it to heat up until shimmering.
  3. Cook the Chorizo: Add the crumbled chorizo to the heated skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until it turns a deep golden color and releases its spicy aroma.
  4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until softened.
  5. Incorporate the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the skillet over the chorizo and vegetable mixture. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet and cook the eggs to your desired doneness, taking about 3-5 minutes for softly set yolks.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle with cilantro and optional cheese, serving immediately.
