Heat a medium cast iron skillet on medium heat until sizzling, lay out the bacon and sausage, add a bacon press on top and fry for 2 minutes until darkened and crisp, turn the pieces and repeat for another 2 minutes
While the meat cooks spread one piece of toast with mayo
When the meat is dont cooking arrange it in the pan to be about the size of a bread slice, with the bacon slices on the bottom and the chorizo spread around on top
spread the tomatoes and jalapenos onto and among the meat, the sprinkle all the cheese on top evenly. Dont worry about it falling down around the meat, that will all brown and crisp up for added deliciousness!
