Directions:
For the Huevito con Chorizo
Cook the Chorizo: In a skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Onion: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until it is translucent and the chorizo is fully cooked, about another 5 minutes.
Add the Eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the chorizo and onion. Stir continuously until the eggs are fully cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
Serve: Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Frijoles (Refried Beans)
Prepare the Beans: If using whole cooked beans, mash them lightly with a fork. If using canned refried beans, skip to the next step.
Cook the Onion and Garlic: In a skillet, heat the oil or lard over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Cook the Beans: Add the beans to the skillet. If using whole beans, mash them further as they cook. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Serve: Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Tortillas de Harina (Flour Tortillas)
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the lard or shortening and mix with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with your hands, until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Rest the Dough: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll Out the Tortillas: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
Cook the Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly puffy and have golden brown spots.
Serve: Keep the tortillas warm in a cloth-lined basket or tortilla warmer.
