Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Sandwich
A simple breakfast sandwich that is better than anything from your local fast food joint. Try a chorizo and egg breakfast sandwich to start your day.
Today’s theme is Rebel. As in, Megan is such a rebel. (Not)
I always joke about Ben being a creature of habit – but truth it, I’m just as bad as he is. Our breakfast routine on the weekends is almost always the same – a bacon and egg breakfast sammich. Maybe pancakes if we’re feeling crazy… I know, such rebels. Right? During the week he’s a cold cereal kinda guy. Boorrinngg! I can’t bring myself to do it. Some mix and combination of honey nut Cheerio and Fiber cereal just doesn’t do it for me. But for someone that thinks they’re not a creature of habit, like I say that I’m not, I totally am. Because if I’m not a cold cereal kinda person during the week like Ben is, I know that as soon as the weekend comes around I’m gonna be having my bacon and egg breakfast sammie. I crave it. It’s like The Sign of my weekend. And it’s gonna be yours soon, too.
But this weekend, I was feeling like a rebel and went with a Mexican flaired sammie. Ben and I needed some serious fueling up for Sunday’s activities of blueberry picking. This is serious summer business folks. By the time we got out to the patches, the berries that were open for the picking were pillaged and left us with measlie little berries… but being the rebel that I am, I crossed The Yellow Line, that separated the open berries from the closed ones. Oooo, I’m so bad. You don’t even know. Sometimes, I don’t separate my recycling. REBEL!! If I was going to be picking blueberries in the scorching sun and getting a wicked case of back sweat – I was going to be getting some big ass, ripe, gumdrop size berries! Booyah! And I cleaned up, yo. It was great! Ben judged me and called me a rule breaker, cause duh I think we’ve established how much I am. I told him he was a sissy for letting a yellow piece of nylon rope stand between him and glorious blueberries and then we got really fat on blueberries.
Now, I’m stuck with 10 pounds of blueberries, limited freezer space and oh, just another 5 pounds of blackberries we picked the night before with a couple Saturday night brewskies and Huck eating them right off the prickly vine. This was a weekend full of food wins. And rebelious berry picking. What, up!
I love this twist on my classic and habitual breakfast sandwich. I found a huge avocado that simply had to be used, Mexican creama that needed to be slathered on top and chorizo sausage that is spicy but not so overpowering that you can’t take two bites of this at once. Because, you know you’ll want to. You’ll need to. It’s everything you ever dreamed a breakfast sammich could be. And none of that horrible fast food $1’s worth of heartache and heartburn. You’re welcome.

Tasty looking breakfast sammie, girl! And, a nice welcome departure from bacon and eggs. This is my kind of breakfast sandwich! The only cold cereal I enjoy is homemade granola (paleo is best for me) with cold almond milk. Otherwise, I just LOVE hot coconut porridge. Thanks for sharing! Pinning!
Must. Stop. Reading before breakfast! You’re killing me!
Oh yum, this looks like a seriously GOOD THING. May have to make it for my fiance this weekend… 🙂
Lady, you are speaking my language here!!! I am in love!
My breakfast looks like a total dork now that I’m looking at this! I waaaaaant it!
Chorizo and eggs is the best combo………
Which Is why we ate basically this exact meal for dinner last night! Since we can not ever seem to master up the energy to actually make good breakfast food for breakfast, I just make it for dinner. It’s till crazy good!!
Love this sandwich!
Welp, now I know what I’m eating for breakfast every day for the rest of my days. FOR REAL. 😉
That’s a breakfast sandwich I want to eat every day, ugh it looks so good! The chorizo, the avocado! meeeelt in my mouth! I have your plate’s twin – LOVE the World Market! 😉
Chorizo should be used more if you ask me, I love it and it makes a great brekky dish!
Great minds think alike!! Chorizo for breakfast is the best! I want to gobble this entire sandwich up:)
This is such a perfect breakfast treat!!! I want one!!!
Oh. em. gee. These are killer, Megan!
You are such a rule breaker! I was avoiding crossing those yellow nylon ropes like the plague thinking YOU CANNOT GO IN THERE! Haha I am so not a rebel. PS. I want this sandwich in my mouth asap.
Dude. YUM. Like that is all I can say . And I LOVE breakfast sammies.
We went berry picking a few times in Oregon and my kids ALWAYS crossed the yellow ropes so I was always crossing them to chase them back. We picked like 15 lbs one time, only 10 of which we paid for because my kids kept shoving in handfuls and easily ate 5lbs between the two of them. With your haul I see some blueberry mojitos in your future? Maybe a pie?
YESSSSS!
This will easily ecome my new breakfast staple! It has a little bit of everything in it!
I really wish I had eaten this sammy instead of cold soggy cereal.
Id be more than happy to take some of those blueberries off your hands! 😉 As well as this sammmichhh! GImme gimme! Loving the chorizo!
Oh, this looks so good! Lovelovelove your styling! 🙂
This breakfast sandwich is so fantastic! I need it asap 😉 but really it contains all of my favorite flavors, perfection!
This looks so amazing! And contains all the food groups so its a healthy breakfast!!! 🙂
