• 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Poblano pepper, seeded and diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and diced poblano pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the pepper is softened, about 5 minutes.

Return the chorizo to the skillet and mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Remove the skillet from heat and evenly spread the mixture across the bottom.

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and low sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10-12 minutes.

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 12

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or warm tortillas for dipping.
