Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 12 oz Cacique pork chorizo (spicy flavor and richness)
- 1/2 medium onion (white or yellow), finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can swap for gluten-free flour)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (non-dairy milk works well)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to package instructions until golden and fluffy. For homemade biscuits, roll out your favorite biscuit dough and bake until they achieve a golden, fluffy texture.
- Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the pork chorizo. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is fully browned and cooked through.
- Sauté the Onion: Add the finely diced onion to the pan with the cooked chorizo. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and turn a light golden color, which helps thicken the gravy.
- Add the Milk and Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to prevent lumps. Let the gravy simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm, fluffy biscuits. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately for a comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
- Use non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk if preferred or for a lactose-free alternative.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or hot chorizo based on your taste.
- Leftover chorizo gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- Serve with a side of eggs or fresh fruit to round out the breakfast meal.
