Chourico Breakfast Salsa

In a recent trip to San Francisco, my brother and I frequented a restaurant in the Haight district for breakfast. The inspiration for this came from that trip. Very simple. Use as a side, a topping (for eggs and omelets) or an ingredient. It's great with Egg Beaters® omelets. Hope you enjoy.

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 drops hot sauce
• ¼ pound Portuguese hot chourico sausage
• 1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
• 1 small chile pepper, diced (Optional)
• ½ teaspoon fresh lime juice (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spray a medium-sized nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat and stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Thinly slice sausage and then chop it into 1/4-inch cubes. Stir sausage into skillet with onions.

Step 3

Stir tomato into sausage mixture and adjust heat to medium-high. Stir in chile pepper, if using. Mix in hot sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Serve warm.
