How To Make marvelous cheesy mexican skillet

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE

    Add the ground chorizo and chuck to a skillet over medium heat.

    Thoroughly cook, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Chef’s Note: Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small bits.

  • Step 9
    Stir until fully combined, about 1 minute.
  • Step 10
    Chef’s Note: I’m not adding any additional salt because my taco seasoning has enough.
  • Step 11
    Add the chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, garlic, and tomato sauce.
  • Step 12
    Stir until combined.
  • Step 13
    Allow the mixture to lightly simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Step 14
    Add the lime juice and stir to combine.
  • Step 15
    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.
  • Step 16
    Add the cheese to the top.
  • Step 17
    Finish under the broiler, until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown.
  • Step 18
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • Step 19
    Serve with some nice warm flour tortillas. Enjoy.
  • Step 20
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
