You had me at Mexican. If I had a choice of food groups, I would always choose Mexican. Hands down. Manos abajo. I made this as one of the entrees for a brunch and there was not one bit left. It got rave reviews.

Ingredients

1 pound Mexican chorizo (Mexican sausage)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeno, seeded or diced (or if you have a jar of sliced jalapeno as I did, I used 5 or 6 slices and diced them—I definitely could have used more)

Salt and pepper
1 8 oz. container sour cream
2 eggs
1 10 oz. can enchilada sauce

Crumble chorizo in a non-stick pan. Add chopped onion and jalapeno and cook until onion is soft.
Transfer chorizo to a medium bowl.
