Avocado
Method
1. Chop onions and pan fry in a large saucepan and sauté veggies (if you have
any).
2. Add tinned tomatoes, some vinegar and the spices (whatever you have)
and let simmer for several minutes.
3. Make little molds in the sauce and crack in eggs.
4. Cover saucepan and let set until you feel the eggs are done to your
personal liking of egg texture.

This is my favorite "whatever I can find in the fridge
and cupboards" recipe.

Method
1. Heat oil in a large straight-sided sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add chorizo and cook, crumbling until no longer pink, about 3-5
minutes. Add in onions, bell peppers, and jalapeño. Cook until
softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add cumin, garlic, and tomatoes,
stirring until fragrant.
2. Add zucchini and yellow squash and cook until just tender but still
slightly crispy. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper,
then toss with cilantro.
3. To serve: Divide mixture into separate serving bowls. Top with
grated cheese and avocado slices.
If you do not have a spiralizer you can buy pre-spiralized
zucchini and squash in most grocery stores (though it is kind of
fun to do yourself).
