1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with oil spray. Set aside.

2. Steam cauliflower until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

3. While the cauliflower is steaming, place a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add chorizo sausage to the pan and break into small pieces. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes, then add diced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic cloves.. Mix to combine. Remove from heat.

4. Once done, transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Add all of the spices and puree once more until combined. Set aside.

Next add 1/2 of the chorizo mixture on top of the cauliflower puree and spread evenly throughout. Repeat this once more – 3 tortillas, cauliflower puree, chorizo mixture. Use a spoon to create 4 wells in the chorizo mixture then crack an egg into each well.
