One of our favorite Sunday breakfasts is a simple scrambled eggs served with refried beans and Mexican chorizo – Add a some orange slices topped with fresh grated cinnamon and you have a meal that satisfies your belly and your mouth!

What you need:

  • 8 Eggs
  • 4 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon tequila limon seasoning (lemon pepper will also work)
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can of your favorite refried beans
  • 1 package of Mexican chorizo – either pork or beef

How to Do it:

Heat an iron skillet and add the chorizo.  Cook until it is crumbly and slightly dry.  Put it into a strainer and drain off as much of the fat as possible.

Heat the beans in the same pan as you cooked the chorizo.  Once they are hot, set them aside.

      Mexican chorizo is different from Spanish chorizo. Spanish is a smoked sausage where Mexican is raw and seasoned differently.
