Prep: 10 minCook: 35 minTotal: 45 min
Servings: 2 - 4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons ghee (butter or coconut oil works), divided
- 8 oz. tempeh, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup water, divided
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 4 – 6 eggs
- 2 oz. arugula or mixed greens
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Place the onions in your pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon ghee.
- Sauté, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Add the chopped tempeh to the pan and use your spatula to chop it up as you would ground beef.
- Cook the tempeh for about 5 minutes, stirring and chopping. Add the walnuts, apple cider vinegar, cumin, garlic powder, ancho chili power, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup water. Stir the spices in. Once the water evaporates, add the ketchup and remaining 1/4 cup water.
- Continue to sauté, stirring frequently until the water evaporates and the chorizo is completely coated and looks saucy.
- While the chorizo is cooking, place your eggs in a pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon ghee. Allow to cook until the translucent part of the eggs is white but the yellow center is still drippy.
- Place a handful of greens onto your plate. Top with your sunny side up eggs and a big scoop or two or chorizo. Add avocado slices and cilantro to the plate and enjoy!
