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 substitute gluten-free flour)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (non-dairy milk can be used)
Instructions
- Prepare Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to the package instructions. For homemade biscuits, roll out your preferred dough and bake until golden brown and fluffy.
- Cook Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
- Add Onion: Stir in the finely diced onion with the chorizo and cook for approximately 7 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Make Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute until the mixture turns a light golden color, which will help thicken the gravy.
- Add Milk and Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to combine smoothly. Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store-bought biscuits can save time but homemade ones add superior flavor and texture.
- To make the gravy gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative.
- Non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk can be used to make the gravy dairy-free.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy chorizo according to preference.
- This dish pairs well with eggs and fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
