Full Recipe:
For the Biscuits:
10 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
For the Chorizo Gravy:
2 (9-ounce) tubes of Cacique pork chorizo (Mexican variety)
½ medium white or yellow onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)
2½ cups whole milk
Prepare the Biscuits: Bake the biscuits according to the package instructions or your preferred homemade recipe.
Cook the Chorizo: While the biscuits are baking, heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once the chorizo starts to brown, add the diced onions and cook for about 7 minutes until the onions are softened.
Add Flour: Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute, stirring occasionally.
Add Milk: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve: Ladle the chorizo gravy over the warm biscuits. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
