Ingredients

• 6 ounce chorizo sausage, casings removed, crumbled
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 eggs
• 0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cumin
• 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Remove chorizo from its casings and measure out 6 ounces into a small bowl, breaking it into small pieces with your fingers.
2. Dice the red bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces, removing the core and seeds. Dice the yellow onion into similar-sized pieces. Mince the jalapeño and chop the fresh cilantro. Have all ingredients ready before you start cooking.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Add the crumbled chorizo to the hot skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles and brown it evenly.
5. Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the chorizo, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.
6. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin over the chorizo and vegetable mixture, and stir to combine evenly.
7. Create three small wells or spaces in the chorizo-vegetable mixture by pushing the ingredients toward the sides of the skillet.
8. Crack the three eggs directly into the wells, being careful not to break the yolks. Reduce the heat to medium.
9. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the entire skillet, making sure to cover the eggs and chorizo mixture.
10. Cover the skillet with a lid or a large piece of aluminum foil and cook for 5 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, and the cheese is melted.
11. Remove the skillet from heat and carefully remove the cover. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeño over the top for garnish.
12. Divide between two plates or serve directly from the hot skillet. Ensure each portion has one egg with a runny yolk, chorizo, vegetables, and melted cheese.
