CHORRI POLLO

Chorri Pollo image

Chorri Pollo is a Chorizo sausage and chicken dish served with cheese on top. My husband orders it whenever we go to Mexican restaurants, so I decided to make it myself. I have been making Chorri Pollo now for several years but decided it needed an upgrade to fit more into a healthy lifestyle. Hubby likes this version even better than the first! It has less fat than my original recipe, and is not quite as spicy. I like to use fresh salsa instead of cheese on mine. It cuts even more fat and tastes delicious! We serve it with rice to soak up the juices!

The star ingredient here is chorizo, a sausage I encountered in Spain and which gives this dish a wonderful flavour. It's not spicy as such, but full of flavour. Available from most supermarkets nowadays. Try for a unique experience
