Quick & easy indulgence with sizzling chorizo, creamy Manchego, and crispy tortilla strips. Perfect for a comforting dinner with crazy good flavors!
Ingredients
- • chorizo sausage: 12 ounces, sliced
- • red onion: 1 medium, thinly sliced
- • red bell pepper: 1, thinly sliced
- • garlic cloves: 2, minced
- • canned black beans: 1 cup, drained and rinsed
- • tortilla strips: 1 cup, crispy
- • Manchego cheese: 1 cup, grated
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lime: 1, cut into wedges
Instructions
- 1 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about a minute.
- 2 Add the sliced chorizo to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and sizzling. This will enhance the flavor by rendering the fat and allowing the spices to bloom.
- 3 Add the red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- 4 Stir in the drained black beans, mixing everything thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through.
- 5 Sprinkle the grated Manchego cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- 6 Remove the skillet from heat. Top with crispy tortilla strips and freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
Serving Suggestions
- • This sizzling chorizo and Manchego tortilla skillet is a meal in itself, but you can elevate it even further with a side of creamy avocado slices or a simple green salad dressed with a tangy vinaigrette. Pair this indulgent dish with a glass of chilled Spanish white wine, such as Albariño, to complement the spicy and creamy flavors. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside Spanish-style rice or a loaf of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices. The vibrant flavors and textures of this dish make it a standout centerpiece for a casual dinner party or a cozy night in.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, transfer the cooled skillet contents to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. When reheating, warm the mixture gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if necessary to prevent sticking. Re-crisp the tortilla strips by briefly toasting them in an oven or toaster oven before serving.
