Cheesy Chorizo and Apple Scramble

Cheesy Chorizo and Apple Scramble in bowl I made this up today when I realized I had next to nothing in the kitchen. Last week, the grocery store was giving away free tubes of chorizo. I rarely say no to free things, even when it's something I don't utilize too much. I always find chorizo to be a bit overpowering in spice and saltiness, so I thought evening it out with some chopped apple would aid it. It was perfect! The sweetness of the apple was a great balance for this breakfast treat. I added little squares of the last tortilla I had in the fridge to make it come together like a taco. It was so very good!

Prep Time: 7 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients:

1/2 a small apple
1 clove garlic
1 small tortilla
2 ounces chorizo
2 eggs
1 ounce shredded cheese
chopped cilantro for garnish

Steps:

Peel and chop the apple into small cubes, mince the garlic, and chop up the tortilla.

Add a bit of oil to a large pan over medium heat and add the apples. Cook for a few minutes, until softened.

Add the garlic and the chorizo to the apples.

Break up the chorizo into bits and mix everything well. Cook a couple minutes.

Whisk the eggs then pour into the pan.

Keep stirring everything as the eggs set.

Shut off the heat then add half the cheese. Stir until it's melted. Transfer scramble to a bowl then top with the rest of the cheese and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Yummm :)

I'd like a dish of that for breakfast please, hehehehe

I've never thought of putting apple with chorizo, and I can just about taste it in my "minds eye" as they say, and I love it!

Thank you Attosa!! :)

(have to tell you, hubby and I were just talking about Chorizo)
because it's been awhile since we've eaten it, and we like it a lot,
but as you said it is a bit overpowering - so the apple added, oh yes, that's the way to go!

I actually thought of you when I bit into this. I thought, "Okay, Suz would totally approve!" You should try it when you get the chance. The chorizo and apple really go well together.

The other option would be something like a potato but I dug the sweetness of the apple! :) I love how you two were just talking about chorizo, too!
