  • 1/2 green pepper seeded and cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 yellow pepper seeded and cut into thin slices
  • 1 cup sweet onion cut into thin slices

  • 3 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • -Brown chorizo sausage in an oven proof pan, make sure to break up sausage as it browns so there are not any large chunks, meat needs to be a fine consistency. Cook it long enough to allow it to get a little crispy.
  • -When meat is completely brown drain off any excess grease and add peppers and onion to the pan saute with sausage until they start to caramelize.
  • -Break cream cheese into chunks, plop on top of sausage mixture, turn off heat, fold cream cheese in to the meat.
  • -Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, place pan in oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and starts to brown.
  • -Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips, warmed corn tortillas, or just eat it as is with a spoon!

Notes

Tortilla Chips, warmed Corn Tortillas, and/or a spoon for dipping and a cold beer with a lime for drinking!
