The Almighty GCBS (Green Chorizo Breakfast Sandwich)

HOLD UP. CHORIZO ISNT GREEN

So let's back up a second. Chorizo is typically a red sausage that is either dried and sliced (see Spanish Chorizo) or crumbled and pan fried (see Mexican Chorizo), but green chorizo is actually a thing. In Toluca, Mexico, green chorizo is a specialty, getting its color from green peppers, tomatillos and fresh herbs. We omitted the tomatillos and went straight for the bright and spicy flavors that serrano, poblano, oregano and cilantro bring.
