Cheesy Chorizo Baked Chicken Food

CHEESY CHORIZO BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning.
• Place the chicken in a casserole dish and bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.Note: Increase bake time if using regular cut (not thin cut) chicken breasts,
• As the chicken bakes, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
• When the chicken is done, top the chicken with the cooked chorizo and pour the queso over top. Bake an additional 5 minutes. Serve with tomatoes and cilantro over top if desired.Note: This is very good if served with warm tortillas and/or tortilla chips.

CHEESY CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine the mango, pineapple, cilantro, onions, jalapeños, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, spinach and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the greens wilt completely, and any excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in the eggs and let sit until the bottom starts to set, about 1 minute. Drag the eggs from side to side with a spatula, letting them set on the bottom each time so that big curds form, 2 to 3 minutes. Once the eggs are no longer runny, turn off the heat.
• Spread 1/2 cup mozzarella in the center of each tortilla. Microwave one at a time until the tortilla is warm and the cheese melts, 30 seconds. Divide the egg mixture between the tortillas and top each with 2 tablespoons of the fruit salsa. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll them up to form compact burritos. Serve with the remaining fruit salsa on the side.

• Put 1/2 of cheese in the baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining cheese and chorizo mixture. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve with flour tortillas for soft tacos.
