Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo 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 the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to the package instructions. For homemade biscuits, roll out your favorite biscuit dough and bake until golden and fluffy.
- Brown the Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chorizo is fully cooked and slightly browned.
- Sauté the Onions: Stir in the finely diced onion into the chorizo. Cook together for about 7 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color, indicating it’s cooked through.
- Make the Gravy: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing well to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
- Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm, fluffy biscuits and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- For gluten-free gravy, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Adjust the spiciness by choosing mild or hot chorizo depending on your taste preference.
- Baking time for homemade biscuits typically ranges from 12 to 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- If you want a thicker gravy, simmer a few minutes longer, or add an extra tablespoon of flour in step 4.
