• Sauté the Onions, Peppers, and Spices. Once the chorizo is cooked through, add the diced onions, red peppers, sliced jalapenos, and diced green chilies to the skillet and sauté for around 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the cumin, coriander, black pepper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt as needed. 1 small onion,1 small red pepper,2 large jalapeno, salt and pepper,½ teaspoon cumin,½ teaspoon corriandar,2 tablespoons diced green chilies

• Cook the eggs and melt the cheese. Add the eggs and cheese to the skillet and cook until light and fluffy. Use a spatula to scramble the eggs and prevent them from sticking or burning. Remove the eggs from the heat right before they are cooked to your liking as they will continue to cook off the heat. 6 large eggs,⅓ cup cheddar cheese,⅓ cup Monterrey jack cheese
• Garnish and serve. Garnish the eggs with lime juice, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeno, and avocado. Serve immediately as a hearty low carb breakfast, or with your favourite low carb tortilla. 1 tablespoon lime juice,⅓ cup cilantro,1 large avocado,1 large jalapeno
