Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
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 Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, follow the package instructions carefully for baking. For homemade biscuits, roll out your favorite dough and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and fluffy.
- Cook Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chorizo and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, allowing it to sizzle and brown evenly for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Add Onions: Stir in the finely diced onion and cook for another 7 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent, blending their flavors with the chorizo.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste and achieve a light golden color.
- Incorporate Milk: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually pour the milk into the pan while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the gravy simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately for a comforting and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- You can use gluten-free flour to make the gravy gluten-free.
- Non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk can substitute whole milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy chorizo based on preference.
- This dish pairs well with eggs or a side of sautéed vegetables for a complete breakfast.
- Leftover gravy can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed.
