I love spicy food and this really hits the spot for me! I make this every couple of weeks and then wrap up small squares in parchment paper. I heat it up in the microwave at work and it's a quick breakfast. I did make a couple of modifications; I used 8 oz. chorizo, 1 cup spanish onion, and 1/3 reduced fat cheddar cheese. Thanks for posting this one John!
