Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 12 oz Cacique Pork Chorizo (spicy flavor)
- 1/2 medium onion (white or yellow), finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can use gluten-free flour)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (non-dairy milk optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake them according to the package instructions until golden and fluffy. For homemade biscuits, roll out your dough and bake until they become golden brown and fluffy.
- Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the chorizo. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully browned and cooked through.
- Sauté the Onion: Add the finely diced onion to the pan with the chorizo and cook for about 7 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked chorizo and onion mixture. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color, which helps to avoid a raw flour taste.
- Make the Gravy: Lower the heat to medium-low. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately for a comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
- You can use non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk as a dairy alternative.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by choosing mild or spicy chorizo as per your preference.
- Leftover gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- Serve with eggs or fresh fruit to make a complete breakfast plate.
