Nothing smelled better on a Saturday morning than my mom’s Chorizo con Huevos. As an adult I would come home on a weekend or during the holidays and it was the warm aromas of the spicy chorizo that took me right back to my childhood.
It’s a simple recipe but one every good home cook who wants to have a traditional Mexican breakfast should learn to master. Another similar dish is Chorizo con Papas.
For the Chorizo con Huevos recipe you can omit the jalapeños. I like the added heat to the dish.
