I prefer pork chorizo to beef, and the soft chorizo removed from its casing works best for scrambling. Some people cook the egg and sausage together, but I cook the chorizo before I add the egg just like this recipe suggests. To add texture I also fry up diced potato, and it isnt complete without cheese, sour cream and hot sauce. I make this for dinner all of the time, but when we camp, it's a must have for breakfast. Yummilicious.

We love wraps and this was a nice variation and a great twist on a breakfast meal or in our case a quick put together supper. We sliced whole sausage in half and browned and used whatever mixture of grated cheese on hand.

Excellent, excellent. Not much in the pantry (must go shopping tonight) except some lovely chorizo from our local carnecera and some home-grown eggs and some marble cheese. I scraped the last of the sour cream out of the carton and thawed some tortillas. DH thought I'd planned this for dinner this evening! With a green salad, dinner couldn't have been easier. Thanks for posting Steve G.
