Step one

Spray griddle with cooking spray; preheat over medium-high heat.
Step two

Meanwhile, combine cornmeal, salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in water. Lightly knead dough with hands just until dough comes together. Divide dough into 8 balls; flatten into patties about 12 cm wide. Place patties on hot griddle and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp.
Step three

Meanwhile, spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Drain; return to skillet. Add drained tomatoes and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove mixture from skillet; set aside. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel.
Step four

Add eggs to skillet; cook without stirring until edges and bottom begins to set. Gently turn to scramble; continue cooking until almost set.
Step five

Top each arepa evenly with chorizo mixture, scrambled egg beaters, avocado and cheese. Serve immediately.
