    Wonderful! The only modifications I made were using half a can of kidney beans instead of a whole can, and I also added some salt and Worchestershire sauce to make it more savory. Without the condiments, it is a bit sweeter than I expected, so that's why I added the salty stuff, but next time I won't add salt unless it still tastes sweet to me without the cheese, etc. Also, I had the kind of chorizo that comes in the plastic casing and must be removed and the meat is cooked as a "ground" product. I think it's a better quality chorizo, personally. Soup is even better the next day - much more like a stew. In fact, next time I think I'll make it a day ahead of serving it.

    This dish was fabulous! I substituted black beans for kidney, cut back on the hot sauce since my chorizo was very spicy. From other suggestions, I included sautéed garlic and fresh cilantro. I went with a blend of mexican cheeses. The quick cheese melt over the tortillas was a perfect addition. I had enough to serve over several days and it just got better with time. I agree that it did take longer than 15 minutes but it still qualified as easy to prepare-and well worth the effort.
