Blue Ribbon Recipe

Looking for a flavorful dinner? You've found one with this chorizo lasagna recipe. It's so easy and delicious! Chorizo adds a mild spiciness to the lasagna which pairs well with the pop of paprika. The cottage cheese adds a wonderful creaminess to the dish. We chose to use the pepper jack cheese and it does add a bit of heat. If you don't like spicy, substitute a taco blend or shredded cheddar. The layers of flavor mesh very well together.

How To Make chorizagna - my mexican chorizo lasagna

  • 1
    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heating chorizo in a pan.
    2
    In a medium pan heat chorizo (if in casing remove casing - we only need the filling :D). Cook through and pour it into a dish to set to the side for now.
  • Cooking onions, peppers, and garlic in a pan.
    3
    Chop onion, green pepper, and garlic. Heat oil in the pan. Add ingredients to the pan. Heat until slightly translucent.
  • Adding sauce and chorizo to the pan.
    4
    Add sauce and chorizo to the pan with onion mixture. Keep on medium heat until heated through.
  • Mixing cottage cheese and the egg together.
    5
    Break egg into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and mix.
  • Adding a layer of chorizo into a baking dish.
    6
    Spray casserole dish with Pam/grease with butter/whatever you prefer (I like Pam). Layer some of the meat until it covers the bottom of the dish.
  • Sprinkling cheese over the chorizo.
    7
    Sprinkle some cheese on top of the meat.
  • Adding dollops of cottage cheese to the baking dish.
    8
    Drop spoonfuls of cottage cheese mixture next and spread. Then place the bake-ready lasagna strips over that (covering the cottage cheese). Finish this layering process and end with either meat or cottage cheese. Top with remaining cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Chorizo lasagna baking in the oven.
    9
    Pop in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check it - if it's bubbling, it's done. Let sit for about 10 minutes or more. Enjoy!
