  1. COAT large nonstick skillet with ovenproof handle with cooking spray. COOK chorizo over medium heat, breaking into crumbles, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. POUR OFF drippings. ADD bell pepper to skillet; sauté until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. POUR IN eggs; mix lightly and sprinkle with cilantro. Gently SCRAMBLE eggs over medium heat 1 minute. COVER and cook until eggs are almost set, 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. UNCOVER skillet; sprinkle with cheese. BROIL 6 inches from heat until eggs are completely set in center, 2 to 3 minutes. CUT into wedges.

Pro Tips

To make handle ovenproof, wrap it completely in aluminum foil.
3 oz. cured chorizo sausage link, finely chopped can be substituted for fresh chorizo. Sauté just until heated through, about 1 minute.
Queso fresco is a fresh crumbly Mexican cheese. A fresh goat cheese or a mild feta can be substituted.
