Chilaquiles Con Chorizo

---

Many years ago i traveled to cancun with a friend for a little fun and sun. Rather than frequenting the americanized restaurants on the beach strip, we ate our meals downtown in places frequented by locals. One particular morning, we tried chilaquiles for breakfast and i was in heaven. On returning, i went looking for a recipe to replicate the flavors and this one comes close. Though this recipe makes the dish from scratch, typically these are made largely from leftovers from the night before.
