4 eggs
Fresh Mexican cheese and chopped cilantro for garnishing
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. When oil is shimmying add chorizo.

Let cook while moisture from meat evaporates, stirring occasionally. Once moisture has cooked off (about 5-7 minutes), continue to cook meat, again stirring occasionally, just until chorizo starts to crisp.
Next, pour whisked eggs evenly over cooked chorizo. Let stand 1 minute before scrambling.
After scrambling eggs with meat thoroughly, remove from heat and plate. Serve with some crumbled Queso Fresco or fresh Mexican cheese and chopped cilantro.
