INGREDIENTS
8oz Hormel Chorizo – SGC# 250429
8oz Queso Chihuahua – SGC# 056992
Mexican Chorizo
- 1/2 White Onion finely chopped – SGC# 192006
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped tomato– SGC# 191957
- 2 cloves garlic minced – SGC# 192922
- 8 oz. shredded Chihuahua Cheese – SGC# 056992
- 4 oz. shredded white cheddar cheese – SGC# 356382
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the chorizo in a small 8″ or 9″ cast iron pan (or oven safe pan) over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned and crispy.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Leave the liquid from the chorizo in the pan. Stir in the chopped onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is super tender.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in a little over half of shredded cheese, and spread it into an even layer in the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle 3/4 of the chorizo over this layer, then top with the remaining cheese. Transfer the pan to the oven, and bake at 400 F for about five minutes, or until the cheese has totally melted.
- To create a browned, bubbly top, broil the cheese for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Add toppings of your choosing.
