Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chorizo sausage
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 medium Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Bread rolls
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional)
Instructions
Finely dice the red onion, tomatoes, and fresh cilantro to prepare the salsa.
Mix the diced onion, tomatoes, and cilantro in a small bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage if needed, crumble it into small chunks, and cook in the skillet for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
Slice the bread rolls in half horizontally. Optionally, spread a thin layer of butter on the inside of each half and lightly toast them in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bread roll.
Layer one piece of lettuce on top of the mayonnaise.
Spoon cooked chorizo evenly over each sandwich, dividing it among the 4 rolls.
Top the chorizo with a generous serving of the prepared salsa.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread roll and serve immediately.
