Ingredients

9 ounces Mexican pork chorizo, casings removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 pound Oaxaca cheese, Chihuahua cheese, or a combination, shredded
Warm flour or corn tortillas, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving
Avocado slices, optional

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

Add the olive oil, onions, and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer half of the sautéed vegetable mixture to a bowl and set aside.

Return half of the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine with the remaining sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the mixture. Top with the remaining chorizo and reserved sautéed vegetables, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon TABASCO® Brand Original Red Sauce.

Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 15 minutes.

Serve immediately with warm flour or corn tortillas or tortilla chips. Garnish with avocado slices, if desired, and drizzle with additional TABASCO® Brand Original Red Sauce to taste.
