In large skillet, crumble together the beef and chorizo or sausage. Cook over medium heat, stirring until meat is browned. Add onions and garlic; cook until onion is limp. Drain off fat.

Line a 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with half of the chilies; top with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Add the meat mixture and top with remaining chilies; set aside.

Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt and Tabasco. Blend well. Pour egg mixture over casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until knife inserted off center comes out clean. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
