Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chorizo together. Once cooked through pour the meat through a strainer to get rid of all the grease. Return the meat to the skillet.
- Add all of the seasonings to the meat (dried oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder). Stir to combine.
- Prepare the tortillas for filling by heating a cast iron skillet with about 1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable oil). Once the oil is hot enough that it sizzles when you dip in the tortilla then gently place one tortilla at a time into the oil. Allow the tortilla to fry in the oil for about 10 seconds, just long enough to get a slight coloring. Then flip the tortilla and fry the other side. Remove the tortilla, wrap it in a towel to retain the heat and continue with the remaining tortillas.
- If you want to dip each tortilla into the enchilada sauce this is the time to do it, then add the fillings.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef and chorizo mixture onto the tortillas, then roll and place in a baking dish, seam side down. Continue until all the tortillas are filled.
- Pour enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, then open the oven, sprinkle cheese on the top of the enchiladas and continue baking for another 5 minutes.
- Serve warm with rice and beans, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
- Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

- Drizzle the enchiladas with the sour cream mixture and garnish with the cilantro.

CHORIZO & EGG ENCHILADAS WITH A GREEN CHILE SAUCE
Breakfast? Lunch? or Dinner? I love to serve this any time of the day. This a great brunch which can be put together the night before and then cooked that morning. Or make breakfast for dinner. This is definitely hearty enough for dinner. I often serve this with my spicy black beans and a tomato avocado salad, or for breakfast ... serve with a nice fresh fruit salad and some pan fried potatoes. And don't forget the traditional condiments, sour cream for me, but you can add olives or anything else you want. The green chili sauce for me is what makes this dish ... Yes, you can make your own, and I often do - it is wonderful. But, for this dish, I often just buy a jar at the store. There are some descent brands out there and it works just fine for this. Also you can get some very nice brands at your local Ethnic markets. And, don't forget all your favorite garnishes. When I make this for dinner, I set out the garnishes just like a taco bar so everyone can just help themselves. Also if you serve this with black beans or even diced potatoes, the garnishes are great on those as well. It is just something fun and different. One NOTE: You can make this the night before and refrigerate and cook it the next morning. The only thing I did was to make sure I put a layer of plastic wrap and then the foil to male sure they didn't dry out.

Steps:
- Chorizo -- To a large sauce pan, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the chorizo and saute until golden brown breaking up the chorizo as it cooks. Cook until golden brown and remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
- Eggs -- Now in the same pan, remove most of the drippings from the chorizo, but I do keep just a little - 1 teaspoon, just for a little flavor. Then I add in the butter, onions, garlic, red pepper, jalapeno and cook until tender and soft. No need to brown them, you just want them soft. Then add in the eggs, salt, pepper and cook until you get a soft scramble. Remember -- they are going to be baked so don't over cook them. Right at the end, toss in the scallions and mix to combine.
- Tortillas -- I wrap 5 at a time in a damp paper towel and microwave for just 30 seconds until lightly warm which makes them plyable. You can also wrap in foil and use the oven if you prefer.
- Filling -- Add the chorizo into the egg mixture and put a heaping spoon into each tortilla. Take 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and divide among the 10 tortillas. Fold over from one edge, tuck the sides in and finish rolling.
- Casserole -- In a 13x9" pan, spray with Pam or a non stick spray. Add 1 can or approximately 10 oz of the enchilada or chile sauce in the casserole dish and place the rolled enchiladas seam side down. Top with the remaining sauce and cheese.
- Bake -- In a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes covered with foil until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Remember, everything is cooked. I bake mine on the middle shelf.
- Serve -- I love to squeeze fresh lime over the top and then serve family style and let everyone help themselves to the garnishes. Anything goes! This is just a wonderful brunch, lunch or dinner. Recipe #389419, are great with this dish for dinner, but so is rice, salad, or just about anything. Have fun and ENJOY!
