Easy Chorizo Burrito Skillet Recipe Highlights
I’m so excited to share with you today’s recipe because it’s so good and flavorful. This Chorizo Burrito Skillet is loaded with all the delicious flavors you love in a burrito, but it’s all cooked in a skillet. Nothing to roll, fret, or fuss over. This Chorizo Burrito Skillet could not be easier! My favorite thing about this Chorizo Burrito Skillet is that it comes together in just about 30 minutes. It’s also very flexible since you can amp up the spice, if you like the heat, or add some cooked shredded chicken or shrimp. It’s easy, quick, and all-in-one, with all the Mexican, bold flavors you love… I like to serve it with warm tortillas on the side. I went a little easy on the topping because, as you might know, my picky eaters are always looking for excuses not to eat, but feel free to top this amazing skillet with guacamole, sour cream, or salsa. YUM. Simply toss it all into one big skillet, cook… y LISTO! A great meal for the whole family to love. Enjoy!
Meat: This time, I use cured chorizo sausage. However, you use ground beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. Veggies: You’ll need onion, bell pepper (I use green and red), and garlic. Rice: I used white long-grain rice. Diced Tomatoes: I use Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies. Sweet corn kernels: You can use canned (drained) or frozen. Black beans: You can substitute for red kidney beans or any other bean you prefer. Broth: You can use chicken or vegetable broth. Cheese: I like to use shredded cheddar and Monterey jack cheese blend. You can also use a Mexican cheese blend. Cilantro: Skip the cilantro if you don’t like it! You can substitute cilantro for sliced green onions.
Toppings. Use as many toppings as your heart desires. My favorites are guacamole, sour cream, and fresh salsa. Meat. I love using chorizo because it’s already seasoned and full of flavor. But feel free to use any meat you like, such as ground beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. When using ground meat, you must season it when you brown it. You can just season with salt, black pepper, or taco seasoning for extra flavor. Spicy. Add a sliced jalapeño pepper when sautéing the other veggies (step 2). To freeze: Transfer to a freezer-friendly bag or container and keep frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat: Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat on the stove or in the microwave until warm. You’ll want to add a splash of water or broth to moisten it again.
