Instructions
- Char-grill sauce ingredients: Char-grill the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and serrano peppers on a griddle until well tanned and roasted.
- Prepare chorizo: Heat oil in a casserole dish and brown the chorizo (after removing its casing) until golden.
- Make the sauce: Remove the charred onion and garlic. Place tomatoes, chilies, onion, and garlic in a blender with a little salt and water, then blend until smooth.
- Cook chorizo with onion: Add sliced onion to the browned chorizo and cook briefly.
- Prepare eggs: Beat the eggs with a little salt.
- Combine eggs and chorizo: Add the beaten eggs to the chorizo mixture, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and to cook the eggs evenly.
- Add sauce: Pour the blended sauce into the chorizo and egg mixture and let it simmer briefly.
- Serve: Serve the chorizo and egg dish hot with refried beans and optionally with tortillas smeared with beans.
