Mexican chorizo has been on my mind lately and I was wishing for some when I saw this great recipe for home made Mexican chorizo from Case of the Munchies http://caseofthemunchies.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/chorizo-tacosenchiladas/
Still, you have to “love the one you’re with”, so I made an omelette with Spanish chorizo, mushrooms and mozzarella. Quick and easy, it would work just as well with Mexican chorizo.
Spanish Chorizo Omelette
1/2 Spanish chorizo link, diced
1 tsp butter
4 cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
Brown the chorizo with the butter in an oven proof skillet, then add the mushrooms and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and cook just until the bottom is set, then sprinkle with the mozzarella, put under the oven broiler and broil until the top is set and the cheese melted.
Yum! I am blessed enough to have a new butcher area to my grocery. They carry fresh Mexican chorizo. I can’t wait to try this…
You are blessed! I’m afraid I’ll have to make my own.
I have never made sausage but I would love to try!
This would be really easy Anna because you don’t have to stuff it into links. But I like stuffing sausage into links 🙂
Looks delicious! I’m curious… What’s irregular about the cremini mushrooms?
Hi Tessa. See this post http://cookinginsens.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/t-bone-american-egg-and-mushrooms/.
I could live on spanish chorizo. We make omelettes every weekend and this is definitely going on the list. Delicious!
Thank you Karista.
I love omelettes! And am looking forward to checking out this chorizo recipe.. we certainly cannot find anything like that around here! c
Hi c. I’m going to try the chorizo recipe also 🙂
This reminds me of the “tortilla” omelettes that we eat in Argentina! Of course, Argentine cuisine is strongly influenced by Spanish culture (since it used to be a spanish colony) – and the chorizo omelette is one of the most flavorful!
thank you for sharing this recipe!
Will be following your blog!
cheers from buenos aires,

Thank you Sarah. I love chorizo also, especially in stews.
so yummy.
Thank you.
Delicious!!
My mother made me omelette with ham or chorizo (tortilla con chorizo 😛 ) when we were in a hurry! I loved the way chorizo ‘melt’ in the eggs.
I’ve told you the other day, at that time I didn’t like mushrooms, but now I see it like a great addition!! 🙂
I want (I need!!) a skillet like yours! I’ll find it someday, not easy to find these skillet in Spain 🙁
Good luck Paula with your search for the skillet.
Yumm, this looks so good. Cheesy goodness, simple, and I bet tastes great, awesome job! I now have a new idea to put chorizo in =). And thanks for the mention!
You are welcome Casey.
Love this Rosemary, can just taste all those wonderful flavours going on.
Cheers

I had never heard of Mexican Chorizo until I happened upon this recipe:
