Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool slightly.3In a large bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, half and half, sour cream, salt and pepper. Fold in the red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and cooked chorizo. With your hands, or by tapping the bag on the counter, break apart any clumps remaining in the hash brown bag.
