Rise and Shine with our Tasty Hatch Green Chile-Chorizo Breakfast Quesadilla

Hey there, friends! It's Chef Cody back again with another Hatch chile inspired recipe for you. Let me tell you how I came up with this tasty Green Chile-Chorizo Breakfast Quesadilla. It all started one morning when I woke up, and I was super hungry... I mean starving! You know, I used to love going to this amazing restaurant called Golden Pride in Albuquerque. They had the most incredible chorizo burrito that always left me craving more. So, I decided to try making something inspired by that delicious burrito right here in my kitchen.

I went to a local market, and guess what I found? Delicious chorizo, and the secret ingredient, Chopped Chile Co. Hatch Green Chiles, that gave that burrito its incredible kick. I decided to combine all these amazing things to create a breakfast that's not just delicious but also captures the spirit of New Mexico, just like that chorizo burrito I loved so much. And that's how the Hatch Green Chile-Chorizo Breakfast Quesadilla was born! It's like a little piece of our beautiful New Mexico on your plate, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
