GREEN CHILE TORTILLA SCRAMBLE



Green Chile Tortilla Scramble image

This was a favorite among our guests at the bed and breakfast where I cooked for many years. If you wish, add sautéed onions or diced tomatoes to the mix. I sometimes serve this dish with pinto or black beans and a warmed flour tortilla. This dish also lends itself well to be served with a side of chorizo sausage or any other breakfast meat of your liking.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chorizo: The chorizo is the star of the show in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chorizo that is made with real pork and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo is a cured meat, so it's important to cook it thoroughly before eating it. Cook the chorizo over medium heat until it is browned and crispy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chorizo, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chorizo from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help to prevent the chorizo from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can season it by cooking a little bit of oil in it over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Add the eggs at the end: Add the eggs to the pan at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Season to taste: Season the tortilla chorizo scramble with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

The tortilla chorizo scramble is a quick and easy breakfast that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover chorizo, and it's also a great option for a protein-packed meal on the go. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give the tortilla chorizo scramble a try!
