Directions

    Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef, chorizo, onions, and peppers; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings. Return beef to skillet.

To control the level of spicy heat, remove and discard some or all of the seeds and membranes from the serrano peppers.
