Biscuits
- 10 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 2 (9-ounce) tubes Cacique pork chorizo
- 1/2 medium white or yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- Prepare Biscuits: Preheat your oven and bake the biscuits according to the package instructions or your favorite homemade biscuit recipe until golden brown and flaky.
- Cook Chorizo and Onions: While the biscuits bake, heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and use a spatula to break it apart into small pieces. Stir in the finely diced onions and cook together for about 7 minutes until the chorizo is starting to brown and the onions are soft.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the chorizo and onions in the pan. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste and help thicken the gravy.
- Simmer the Gravy: Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the whole milk while stirring. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Once thickened, taste the gravy and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Ladle the chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for a delicious, hearty breakfast.
Notes
- You can make biscuits from scratch or use your favorite store-bought variety.
- Adjust the milk quantity if you prefer a thinner or thicker gravy.
- For a spicier kick, consider using a hotter chorizo or adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
