Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo (click link for our EASY homemade chorizo!)
- 1 small onion , finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 4 ounce canned roasted diced green chiles (alternatively roast two fresh poblano peppers, discard charred peels, and dice)
- 1 pound good melting cheese like Oaxaca, Asadero, Chihuahua, Quesadilla, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Havarti, Munster, Cheddar , shredded; use any combination of these cheeses
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Heat the oil in a 10 inch oven-safe skillet. Add the chorizo and cook and crumble until brown. Drain off excess fat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and roasted chiles and cook another two minutes. Evenly spread the mixture out on the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the cheese on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake just until the cheese is melted and nice and gooey (do not over-bake or the cheese will become firm). Transfer the skillet to a heat-proof surface, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve immediately with tortilla chips or warm flour tortillas and some salsa if desired.
