Makes one 10 inch pie

Here's a recipe that's been one of my Super Bowl Sunday culinary traditions since 1995...

1/2 pound - hot country style sausage
1/2 pound - Mexican style pork chorizo
1 each - large onion, chopped
1/2 cup - red bell pepper, chopped
15 each - canned, pickled jalapeno chiles, chopped
1 cup - grated cheddar cheese
1 cup - grated jack cheese
4 each - large eggs
1 cup - milk
1 cup - cilantro, washed and chopped
as needed - flour tortillas

1 - 10 inch pie pan.

Fry sausage and chorizo together. Add onion and bell pepper and fry to wilt. Drain, but save, rendered fat. Beat eggs and milk. Stir jalapenos and cilantro into egg/milk mixture. Using a basting brush, paint 3 to 4 flour tortillas with rendered fat and cover the bottom and sides of the pie pan, overlapping as necessary. Repeat, with another layer of tortillas painted with rendered fat as before. Spread sausage/onion/pepper mix over tortillas. Spread cheeses over sausage. Pour in egg/milk mixture. Bake in 375 degree oven until pie is set.

Serve with salsa, hot sauce and sliced pickled jalapenos to add per individual discretion.
