Biscuits
- 10 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 2 (9-ounce) tubes Cacique pork chorizo
- 1/2 medium white or yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- Prepare the biscuits: Bake the biscuits according to package instructions or your preferred recipe until golden brown and flaky. Set aside and keep warm.
- Cook the chorizo and onions: Heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once the chorizo begins to brown, stir in the diced onion and cook together for about 7 minutes until the onions are softened and the chorizo is fully cooked.
- Add the flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the chorizo and onions, stirring constantly and cooking for about 1 minute. This helps develop a roux to thicken the gravy.
- Simmer with milk: Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the whole milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Season and serve: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the thick, spicy chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for a delicious and hearty meal.
Notes
- You can use store-bought biscuits or bake your own from scratch for added freshness.
- Adjust the amount of milk slightly if you prefer a thinner or thicker gravy.
- For a milder flavor, use less chorizo or substitute with a less spicy sausage.
- This dish is best served fresh but can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
