HUEVOS CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• For the pico de gallo: Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the eggs: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat into big chunks, until well-browned, about 4 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender (reduce the heat if the onion browns too quickly), about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl until frothy. Stir the butter into the skillet. When it has just melted, pour the eggs over the chorizo and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until they are just set. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve with the tortillas, avocado and pico de gallo.

HUEVOS ROTOS (BROKEN EGGS)

Steps:

• In a measuring cup, combine the olive oil, paprika, red-pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, a generous grind of pepper and 1 cup water. Put the potatoes in a large skillet and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are fork-tender, 6 to 9 minutes.
• Uncover and turn the heat to low. If the potatoes are sticking or dry, add more olive oil. Arrange the potatoes in an even layer, cut side down if halved, then add the onion and garlic surrounding the potatoes. Cover and cook until the potatoes are golden-brown and the onions are softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Stir the potatoes (if they're sticking, add more oil). Make 4 nests in the potatoes and crack an egg into each. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 4 to 6 minutes.
• To serve, break the yolks gently with a serving spoon, then scoop some potatoes and an egg onto plates or into shallow bowls. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and flaky salt.

HUEVOS ESTRELLADOS CON CHORIZO (FRIED EGGS WITH CHORIZO)

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, add the potatoes. Fill the bowl with cold water and let the potatoes soak for 10 minutes. While the potatoes are soaking, fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Drain the potatoes, add them to the pot and bring back to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator until cold, about 20 minutes. 2. In a large stockpot set over medium-high heat, bring 6 cups olive oil to 250º. Carefully add the reserved potatoes and fry until just before they begin to color, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and let sit in the refrigerator until cold, about 20 minutes. Bring the olive oil to 375º and fry the potatoes again until golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to a plate and season with kosher salt. 3. In a medium skillet set over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the chorizo. Cook until the chorizo begins to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a serving bowl, add the potatoes and stir to combine. 4. In a nonstick skillet set over high heat, add the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and the eggs. Fry until the eggs' edges are brown and crispy but the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Carefully drain the oil from the pan with the egg in it. Use a spatula to break up the egg yolk and whites and quickly spoon over the potatoes. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately.
