I added a spoonful of sour cream, then took it and poured it over mini cheese ravioli and sprinkled Parmesan over the top... YUM.
As Joe commented you do not need the oil. I have made similar recipes to this and I actually drain the grease from the chorizo before adding the eggs.
You don't really need oil to fry the ingredients because the sausage releases alot of grease. Jalapeños are very good in this.
