Add the potatoes and cook until lightly golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.  Add sausage back to pan, stir in cilantro and squeeze of lime juice!

  3. Whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth, season with salt and pepper.  Heat a few teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat until it shimmers. Dip a tortilla into the egg mixture making sure that both sides are coated well, remove, and let excess drip off.  Cook in oil until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. Remove to a plate, fill with some of the chorizo filling, roll and spoon some of the salsa verde over the top, garnish with cheese, cilantro and lime wedge, if desired.
