  1. Heat the oven to 325°. Cut a piece of parchment paper and line a bread pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chorizo, beef, tortilla chips, eggs, taco seasoning, cumin, green chiles, onion, and garlic.
  3. Add half the meat to the bottom of the pan and press a well down the middle of the meat. Fill the well with cheese, then top with the remaining meat and smooth it out.
