Notes

You can use pork, beef or soy chorizo mixes.

I like to serve this dish with mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes coated in my chili lime seasoning. It's also great with mashed potatoes. For a little multi-culture touch, I serve my Shirazi salad. YUM!

And you can serve leftovers taco style with a little guacamole!
