Selena Gomez always shares tasty food tips, from nostalgic childhood dishes like her nana’s chicken dinner to her favorite fast-food orders, like Jack in the Box. If you’re a fan of the actress, you might be curious about her go-to meals. Is she a “yogurt parfait” kind of person for breakfast? Or perhaps a grilled cheese fan for lunch?

According to her new fiancé, Benny Blanco, if you want a peek into her morning routine, there’s one particular breakfast combination she can’t get enough of.

“She wants the same thing every day. Her favorite thing is she either has chorizo and eggs in like a tortilla, chorizo and eggs in a quesadilla, chorizo and eggs and rice and beans — she wants some version of that,” Blanco said during an interview on The Howard Stern Show. “Every day, I try to make her her favorite breakfast. Every single day.”

It’s no surprise that this is Gomez’s favorite breakfast. Over the past few years, she’s picked up plenty of delicious cooking tips from culinary pros on her show Selena + Chef, where they teach her how to use bold flavors to create tasty dishes. For example, in season three, episode nine of her show, she teamed up with LA-based chef Gabe Kennedy to learn how to make black cod topped with chorizo.

While we don’t know precisely how Gomez settled on chorizo as her go-to protein, we can certainly agree that it’s a delicious choice. The pork sausage combines smoky paprika and umami garlic. For breakfast, it tastes delicious, stuffed in flaky empanadas, cheesy frittatas, and egg enchiladas.
