For a Mexican-style breakfast full of flavor, Chorizo and Eggs Ranchero can’t be beat. A crispy baked flour tortilla shell is filled with refried beans, scrambled eggs, cheese, tomatoes, and lots of crumbled chorizo sausage.

I love the flavor and spice that fresh chorizo sausage has. Be sure you get the right kind of chorizo sausage. It should be the fresh kind, not the cured Spanish kind. In my store it is in the same section as the ground Italian sausage.

Crispy tortilla shells are made in the oven and filled with refried beans, chorizo, and scrambled eggs. You could make fried eggs instead of scrambled eggs. I actually think it would taste better with a creamy egg yolk coating everything and that is the traditional way to make this dish. But scrambled eggs are so quick and easy and a little more kid-friendly.
I like to sprinkle Quseo Fresco on top. You can find it in most stores. It tastes a little like feta cheese and it also tastes great sprinkled on salads or roasted vegetables.

This recipe for Chorizo and Eggs Ranchero is totally flexible and customizable. Use fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes or salsa and sprinkle it with any type of cheese you like. Maybe add some black beans or corn. Add some diced jalapeno, red onion, and avocado. Maybe some hot sauce. The more flavors and textures, the better!
No more boring and bland breakfasts. Get your day started with a little kick!
