In every Salvadoran home, there is a beautiful tradition that, despite the passage of time, is passed down from generation to generation... humility. You can even see it in our food—here’s proof of that. Enjoy!

Steps

  1. 1

    Pick the chipilín leaves from the stems, wash them, and sauté them with the rice and onion. Add enough water to cover, then stir in 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon until dissolved. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, fry the eggs and chorizo. For best results, make small slits around the chorizo so it cooks evenly. Once everything is ready, serve.

  3. 3

    For Salvadorans, this is typically served with 2 crispy corn tortillas and a cup of coffee, but that's optional. In our home, we never skip that steaming cup!
