Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 chorizo sausages casing removed (not cured Spanish chorizo)
- 1 tbsp jarred pickled jalapeno Chopped
- 100g / 1¼ cups cheddar
- 100g / 1¼ cups cheese (Monterey jack)
- 50g / 1/2 cup mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Add the chorizo sausage to a frying pan and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until done while breaking up with a spatula. Remove from a pan and set aside till needed.
- Grate the cheeses and chop up the pickled jalapeños.
- Assemble the dish by covering the bottom of a small oven proof dish with the cooked chorizo. Reserving a couple of tablespoon for garnish.
- Then add the chopped jalapeños and mixed grated cheese. Cook in the preheated to 180C/350F oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly but not coloured.
