Ingredients:

3 eggs
130g
1 onion
70g
1/2 link chorizo
30g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork until well combined. Set aside.
- Peel and finely chop the onion into small pieces.
- Slice the chorizo half-link into thin rounds or small chunks.
2. Cook the Onion:
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Cook the Chorizo:
- Add the sliced chorizo to the skillet with the onions.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo starts to brown and release its oils, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Scramble the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the onion and chorizo mixture.
- Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring the eggs are evenly distributed among the onions and chorizo.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the chorizo scramble with onions to a plate.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy your Chorizo Scramble with Onions as is, or pair it with toast, tortillas, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Ensure your chorizo is thoroughly cooked before adding the eggs to avoid any raw bits.

- Cook on medium heat to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.

- Stir the eggs gently for a creamy texture.

- Add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking for extra fluffiness.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and flavor.
