Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup White onion
- 1 medium Poblano pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.
Add the chopped onion and poblano pepper to the skillet, cooking over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the chorizo to the skillet and mix well with the onion mixture.
Sprinkle the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses evenly over the top of the chorizo mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the top and season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately with low-carb tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks.
