Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the biscuits: Bake the biscuits according to package instructions or your preferred recipe until golden brown and flaky. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
