Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Mexican chorizo casings removed
  • 1 small white onion minced
  • 1 large poblano pepper seeded and diced
  • 1/2 pound shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2 pound grated Oaxaca cheese
  • 2 medium roma tomatoes diced, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add in chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in onion and poblano pepper and saute until soft and chorizo is completely cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and moisture.
  3. Stir in shredded cheeses and transfer the skillet to the oven, about 8 inches from the broiler. Broil on high 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbling, and starting to brown.
  4. Garnish with Roma tomatoes and cilantro. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Don't have cast iron?
  • You can also make this dish in a regular baking dish. Cook chorizo, onion,  and poblano peppers as directed in the recipe using a regular skillet. Stir in the cheeses and transfer all of this to an un-greased small baking dish like a 7x11 pan, 2 quart casserole dish, or even a pie plate.
