Ingredients

Scale

1/3 pound chorizo (I used chicken)
4–6 eggs (or more, depending on how many people you’re serving)
1 (28 oz.) can fire roasted tomatoes)
1/2 white onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
For avocado sauce, if using:
1 avocado
1/4 cup greek yogurt
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
For topping: a handful of chopped parsley or cilantro, crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
For serving: crusty bread (or rice is good too!)

Instructions

(Use a frying pan with tall sides and a lid (which you’ll need later). For the tomato sauce: over medium-high heat, add olive then saute onion and bell pepper, about five minutes. Add in garlic and cook about two more minutes being careful not to burn. It’s easiest if you keep stirring so the garlic doesn’t have a chance burn. Add chorizo and cook through, breaking up into smaller pieces as you go. Add cumin and smoked paprika. Add tomatoes and stir, then let simmer for about 10-15 minutes until thickened slightly.
Drop heat to medium low. Get a spoon and make little pockets or holes in the sauce. Crack eggs into holes then put the lid on the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the eggs are set. Season with salt and pepper.
If desired, for the avocado/greek yogurt sauce: Mix avocado, greek yogurt and lemon juice well until creamy.
Sprinkle parsley or cilantro over finished dish and cheese if you want. Add avocado sauce on top or slices of avocado. Serve with nice crusty bread for dipping (really good if you rub some garlic on the crusty bread!) or over rice (that’s what I did in the pictures)
