This easy one-pot meal con­sists of spicy chorizo, fla­vor­ful aro­mat­ics, and ten­der bas­mati rice. This is the most deli­cious and sim­ple meal, and it is done in about 30 min­utes!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2poundsfresh chorizo, cas­ings removed

  • 3table­spoonsmild extra vir­gin olive oil

  • 1onion, chopped

  • 1green bell pep­per, chopped

  • 2jalapenos, seeded and chopped

  • 2tea­spoonscumin

  • 1tea­spoondried oregano

  • 1cupbas­mati rice, rinsed

  • 2cupschicken stock

  • 1large tomato, peeled and sliced

  • Freshly chopped cilantro, for top­ping

  • Grated cotija cheese, for top­ping

Directions

  • In a large saucepan with a lid, brown your chorizo over medium heat. Allow your meat to get a deep golden brown color. This adds the most fla­vor pos­si­ble to the dish.
  • Once the chorizo is fully browned, add your olive oil, onion, bell pep­per, and jalapenos. Brown the veg­gies for 3 – 4 min­utes until soft.
  • Once the veg­gies are translu­cent add the cumin and oregano. Stir together and allow it to come to a low sim­mer.
  • Rinse your bas­mati rice until the water runs clear. Dry it off as best you can to remove access water. Add the rice to the mix­ture and stir to coat the rice.
  • Add 2 cups of chicken stock and turn up the heat to medium. Artfully place your tomato on top of the chorizo and rice. Allow the mix­ture to come to a boil before putting the lid on. Turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 – 20 min­utes or until most mois­ture is absorbed.
  • Once the liq­uid is gone and the rice is cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Add fresh cilantro and cotija cheese over the top. Serve while hot.
