Summer Breakfast Skillet Tips

How can you tell if chorizo is cooked?

Time and temperature. Ground chorizo cooks in a skillet over medium heat in about five minutes. If you're unsure, check your temperature and make sure it's at least 160°F. Here's more on how to cook chorizo.

Is chorizo really spicy?

Some chorizo can be spicy. If you're unsure about using it, try a chorizo labeled "mild" or use a mild breakfast sausage instead.

How should I serve this summer breakfast skillet?

Use a large serving spoon to grab one egg per serving plus a healthy helping of the chorizo and vegetables. Serve immediately, and add a tortilla to make it handheld or spoon over a bed of steamed rice for an even heartier breakfast. You can also make this an autumn breakfast skillet by substituting roasted root vegetables like sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots for the peppers.
