Steps:

• Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chorizo and slowly cook, breaking up the sausage into crumbles with a spatula, stirring occasionally. Add the onions after a couple minutes, then continue cooking until the chorizo is fully cooked, 5 -10 minutes total. Drain any excess fat through a fine-mesh strainer.
• Once it's cool enough to handle, wipe down the pan and place over low heat. Add the eggs, 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are just scrambled and the cheese is melted.

• Serve immediately. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 days. See notes for freezing and reheating instructions.
