For a vegetarian option, substitute the chorizo with 1 pound of crumbled vegetarian sausage or sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers. To prepare ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time. For extra flavor, try using a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. If you don't have fresh chorizo, you can use pre-cooked chorizo sausage. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
