For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chorizo mixture. Feel free to substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar, pepper jack, or any other cheese that melts well. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but use half the amount. Make sure to press the hash brown mixture firmly into the pie pan to create a sturdy crust. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
