How to Make Marvelous Cheesy Mexican Skillet
- PREP/PREPARE
- Gather your ingredients.
- Add the ground chorizo and chuck to a skillet over medium heat.
- Thoroughly cook, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Chef’s Note: Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small bits.
- Chef’s Note: Drain off any excess grease, if there is any.
- Add the taco seasoning.

- Stir until fully combined, about 1 minute.
- Chef’s Note: I’m not adding any additional salt because my taco seasoning has enough.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, garlic, and tomato sauce.
- Stir until combined.
- Allow the mixture to lightly simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Add the lime juice and stir to combine.
- Chef’s Note: You could make this a one-pan meal; however, I prefer to cook the ingredients in a larger pan, and then transfer them to a smaller serving pan. In my case, that would be a small cast-iron skillet.
- Add the cheese to the top.
- Finish under the broiler, until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve with some nice warm flour tortillas. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
