I was tempted to PM Sweet Willie but figured that I'd post on the thread in case anyone was tempted to try the breakfast concoction.
I made it this morning & it was really good. Not in the same league as a baconeggandcheese but I found it to be more satisfying. This is going to become one of my go to quick breakfast grabs.
I did try the recipe with vegetarian chorizo. I couldn't find the brand mentioned upthread so I used something called Soyrizo (oh you should have seen my husband's horrified expression when he found THAT in the fridge). While it barely qualified as a solid and had to be squeezed out of it's casing the smell was "right" and it added another level of spice to the mix.

There was some sweetness there but with everything else going on in this mix it was OK. I wasn't under any illusion that I was eating chorizo but it definitely worked in with anything else. Nor was my brain screaming "fake meat!!!". I used white corn tortillas which have their own sweetness from the corn and everything worked.
Now I'm wondering if Soyrizo would work instead of chili on a baconeggandcheese? Blasphemy, I know.
