Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces gluten-free chorizo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium poblano peppers, diced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 cups gluten-free shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup gluten-free shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 each lime wedges
- 1 bag gluten-free tortilla chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and diced poblano peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove the casing from the chorizo if necessary, then add the chorizo to the skillet.
Cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
In a oven-safe baking dish, mix together the shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Add the cooked chorizo mixture over the cheese, mixing slightly to combine.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the top with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side and gluten-free tortilla chips for dipping.
