Chorizo for Dinner


Chorizo refers to a variety of different sausages usually made out of pork. It can be salty, sweet, and/or smokey. The one used in this recipe is Mexican chorizo. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- Chorizo
- Spinach
- Basil

1. In a skillet over medium heat, squeeze chorizo out of its casing and into the pan (you won't need to oil - all the fat in the chorizo will take care of that. Also I prefer using Mexican chorizo sparingly, because I find it really salty)
2. Once the chorizo has shrunk, add spinach
3. Add basil and remove from heat
4. Serve with an over-easy egg, brown rice and cherry tomatoes (Add more vegetables if you like to balance out the chorizo's salty nature)

*If you like, you can make an omelet using the same ingredients.

Huevos del Cabo


I havn't had Mexican in a good three months or so and there were a few eggs and an avocado that needed to be used before turning bad. Voila - Huevos del Cabo! (The portions below serve 1)

2 eggs, beaten
1/4 avocado, coarsely chopped
1/4 roma tomato, coarsely chopped
Trader Joe's Salsa del Cabo, to taste (I smothered mine - almost a 1/4 cup!)
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Add chopped roma tomato to skillet with oil over medium heat
2. Add beaten eggs to skillet once most of the moisture from the tomato has evaporated. Proceed to scramble.
3. Add avocado and salsa, then turn heat on low.
4. Serve with toast
