  4. Add olive oil and sauté the Spanish onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix in diced bell pepper, Fresno chili, and minced garlic; cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in fire-roasted tomatoes and mild green chilis, seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return the chorizo to the skillet and create wells for the eggs.

  9. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until eggs are set to your liking.
