Ingredients

1/2 lb chorizo sausage, casing removed
4-6 green onions (spring onions), green and white parts, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 eggs
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese, or Queso Blanco
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional) or chopped Italian parsley
Sour cream or Mexican Crema for garnish

Instructions

Saute chorizo in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.

Whisk together the eggs, water, salt, and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the cheese and cilantro and stir until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.

If using Mexican Crema or sour cream, top each serving with a small dollop.
