I just made this up 20 minutes ago, and I think it's pretty yum. I love chorizo and never know what to do with it, so here's an idea. I didn't use veggies or cheese in mine, but I think they would be nice. I made a Gluten Free version for myself at the same time as a Regular version for my husband, so they prep time might be off.
