Step 1

Grease a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until chorizo begins to get crispy, 5 to 6 minutes.

Pour in eggs and hot sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are close to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
