You could use another type of sausage in this recipe with excellent results, but it won't have the Tex-Mex thing going if you do. Serve this dish with warm tortillas on the side so your breakfast crowd can make tacos if they want to.
Cook the chorizo in a skillet over moderate heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk together the eggs, water, salt, and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cheese
and cilantro and stir until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream for garnish.
