Chorizo...yes, please! This is such a great combination for breakfast but I don't think it needs the hot sauce since the chorizo is generally spicy on its own. I was thinking how about trying a poached or fried egg instead of the scrambled and adding some hashbrowns and whatever meat you prefer...then the egg can ooze into everything and be extra amazing. Or what about Denver omelet ingredients inside? This recipe is so versatile and perfect to customize for the pickiest of eaters in your family.

LOVED these. It had just the right balance of cheese, eggs, and meat, and I loved having a refreshing slice of avocado on top (and of course plenty of sour cream). This is an excellent recipe for brunch with friends.
