Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C). 

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. 

1. Place the tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until golden and slightly crisp.

3. Spread ½ cup salsa over the tortilla. 

Place the chorizo in the skillet and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through. 

• Drain excess fat and transfer the chorizo to the pie pan and distribute if over the salsa on the tortilla.

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, cream, cheese and cilantro. 

1. Mix well and pour over all in the pie pan.

2. Bake at 375º F (190º C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
