Chorizo and Eggs Breakfast Nachos

This serving of chorizo and eggs is nacho average breakfast, and it tastes incredible! Dare I even say eggcellent? Too much? I don't think so. There's no such thing as food being too punny or yummy!

My first experience eating chorizo and eggs was with my husband's family. They are Mexican, and my father-in-law grew up eating chorizo and all sorts of mouthwatering Latino dishes. I remember waking up to the smell of chorizo and eggs cooking on Christmas morning—it was the most cozy, distinct smell, and it tasted even better wrapped up in a warm tortilla with authentic refried beans.

Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Nachos will wake you up!

Now whenever I make it in my own kitchen, I can't help but think of those fuzzy warm feelings of Christmas and eating good food with the ones I love. That's what food is about, after all: community, a sense of belonging, kinship.

But this isn't a post about Christmas! This is my spin on a different way to serve chorizo and eggs, and who doesn't love nachos? It's a marriage of two amazing foods, and I can't stop eating them.
