How to Make Marvelous Cheesy Mexican Skillet
- 1PREP/PREPARE
- 2Gather your ingredients.
- 3Add the ground chorizo and chuck to a skillet over medium heat.
- 4Thoroughly cook, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 5Chef’s Note: Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small bits.
- 6Chef’s Note: Drain off any excess grease, if there is any.
- 7Add the taco seasoning.

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