  • Total Time: 40
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground turkey chorizo (halal)
8 large eggs
1 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add ground turkey chorizo and cook until browned and crumbly, 5-7 minutes.
Stir in diced onions and bell peppers, sauté until softened, 4-5 minutes.
Season with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Create 8 egg wells in the chorizo mixture, carefully crack eggs into each.
Cover skillet and simmer until eggs reach desired doneness (6-8 minutes for runny yolks).
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet and let it melt, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let rest 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Thoroughly browning chorizo enhances flavor; adjust seasoning to taste.
Letting the skillet rest ensures even cheese melt.
Use dairy-free cheese for a fully vegan option.
Serve with avocado or salsa for extra nutrition.
