Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 10-12 oz pkg Chorizo (casing removed and crumbled)
  • 1 large yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 large red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 16 oz Gouda Cheese (Grated (I used Chipotle and Chili Lime flavor))
  • 1 jalapeno (diced (optional))
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 avocado (diced for garnish)
  • 2 oz can sliced black olives (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (diced for garnish (optional))
  • Tortilla Chips (for serving)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, cook and crumble the sausage until brown.
  • Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel. Pour off any excess grease.
  • Add onions and bell pepper to the skillet and cook over medium heat until soft and golden brown. Remove from skillet
  • and set aside.
  • To build the skillet, place 1/3 of the cheese in the cast iron skillet. Add half the sausage. Add another third of the cheese, then as
  • much of the veggie mixture as you'd like. Add almost all of the remaining cheese (reserve about 1/2 cup), the rest of the sausage, then whatever cheese you have left. Sprinkle the top very lightly with chili powder.
  • Place into the oven bake for about 5-7 minutes. You want to bake it until the cheese is totally melted, hot, and slightly bubbling...but before the cheese starts to firm up and harden.
  • Remove from the oven, top with veggies to garnish and serve immediately with tortilla chips!
