Chorizo San Luis: when you want a little more fat

Chorizo San Luis is another chorizo product from San Antonio-based Chorizo de San Manuel Inc.

I've written on Chorizo de San Manuel, which is a leaner sausage. And from this company, the lean choice is my favorite. But a lower fat chorizo is uncommon. Traditionally, chorizos are very greasy, so accommodate the public's preferences, Chorizo de San Manuel provides a few choices.
Chorizo San Luis: traditional chorizo with the grease

Nothing all that new with the breakfast recipe, though. This plate is lightly grilled chorizo. Put the hot pepper and onion on next, and the scrambled egg goes in last.

Well, almost last. I chopped some cotija cheese and mixed that in while the egg cooked. Don't overcook, don't let it dry out.

Top this with fresh chopped tomato and serve with greased up white corn tortillas. As long as we're going with a greasier chorizo, why not go all the way and heat the tortillas on the same greasy grill? You can work the fat off later.

Yes, there's a few extra calories, but it's not like I'm asking you to stuff yourself with chocolate cake.

Buen provecho!
And forget I mentioned cake.
