I’ve been on a chorizo kick lately, but we do love it! This recipe uses the smoked Spanish-style chorizo that comes in links, and it’s quick and easy to throw together for a very tasty meal. It calls for canned diced green chilies which are easy to find in America, but not in Australia. So I substituted fire roasted red capsicum (peppers) instead and it was delicious. You could use any chilies you like, really.

Ingredients:

 • ⅔ cup chopped tomatoes
 • 6 ounces of chorizo sausages (170g) about 2
 • 8 ounces of canned diced chili peppers (226g)
 • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (113g)
 • 12 large eggs

Instructions:

 1. Preheat the broiler. Slice chorizo to bite-sized pieces and sauté in a large oven-proof skillet for approximately five minutes. Discard excess fat/oil.
 2. Add green chilies, cheese, lightly beaten eggs and tomatoes. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat.
 3. Put the pan into the broiler and leave it for about 3-4 minutes to set the eggs.

Makes 4 serves.
