Egg bakes are a favorite of mine. This recipe has a twist using tortillas, corn and chorizo. It makes an excellent dinner combination which could be altered with beans, cheese, or jalapenos. The original recipes calls for chorizo sausage but, I opted to sub out the chorizo for a healthier soy alternative "soyrizo". At the beginning of my marriage I was a fanatical eater. I would have never eaten the desserts I make today let alone even take a bite. Tofu and veggies were a big part of my diet. Needless to say between the tofu and my poor cooking skills I was not winning points with my new meat and potatoes husband in the kitchen. There was the infamous egg bake I made with soy crumbles which I still hear about to this day. Both my father and Brad detested it. I feel confident these days subbing in the soyrizo as both my cooking, my eating habits and soy products have come a long way in 7 years. Thank goodness!
