**Chorizo Frittata**
Chorizo is a spicy Mexican sausage that can be found in local markets in the West and Southwest. In the east or other areas of the US, you may have to get it in a specialty market. We had this for breakfast at a friends' and it was wonderful! Of course, he always spoils us when we come to stay! Thanks, Forrest!
