Step:
Add chorizo to pan on medium heat. Use a spatula to work it as it cooks so it resembles ground beef. It comes in tube form but is very easy to work with. It's not as dense as standard sausages. Cook that for approx. 5 minutes (it cooks fast)
Push the clocked chorizo to one side of the pan. Crack the 3 eggs into the open side of the pan. Begin scrambling them in the pan for a minute then begin to stir them into the sausage. Continue blending till none of the egg is runny. Again, it cooks fast so it'll probably only take a couple minutes. Remove mixture to a bowl.
Wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Take a tortilla, add a thin layer of shredded cheese, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on the cheese, add a layer of chorizo/egg and another layer of cheese. Leave about 1/2 inch space between ingredients and the edge of the tortilla. Put that directly in pan, tortilla side down, on low heat. Top with another tortilla. Cook for a few minutes while moving it around in the pan for an even cook. Flip. Repeat. Continue that process till all ingredients are used. Cut in half or quarters. 1 stick of sausage and 3 eggs gave me 4 quesadillas.
A dipping sauce is a good idea. I just mixed about 3 parts sour cream and 1 part hot sauce in a separate bowl. You can even throw a bit of the cilantro in that too. I always get the hot chorizo as opposed to the mild because cooking it with the egg cuts down a lot of the heat. Hence the hot sauce. Enjoy!
