Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

5 10 15

Ingredients

3 flour tortillas (6 inches)
2 tablespoons butter, divided
3 ounces uncooked chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage
1 tablespoon diced seeded jalapeno pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons picante sauce

Directions

Cut tortillas into quarters; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 3-5 minutes or until crisp.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter. Crumble chorizo into the pan; add jalapeno and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until meat is fully cooked; drain. Stir in tomatoes and Cajun seasoning.
In another skillet, heat remaining butter until hot. Add eggs; cook and stir over medium heat until completely set. Divide scrambled eggs between two plates. Serve with chorizo mixture, tortillas and picante sauce. Yield: 2 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
