I love Chorizo. If you haven’t had it, you’re missing out! Tons of flavor! Chorizo is a highly seasoned ground pork sausage. Mexican Chorizo, which is what I am using here, is made with fresh, raw pork. It is seasoned with chile peppers and paprika. The flavor is intense and amazing!

You can make your own Chorizo at home. I haven’t done that yet but I would like to! I found a recipe I would like to try. It’s on The Spruce Eats blog. Click here to check it out!

I made this for dinner last night. It is one of our favorites. It is just so pretty with all those veggies in the pan!!

This is one of my favorite ways to have Chorizo.

Enjoy!

Mexican Lasagna

Mexican Lasagna is one of my family’s all time favorites! If I ask what everyone wants for dinner, someone is sure to ask for this!

It sounds amazing right? It sounds like layers of cheese and ooey gooey goodness, doesn’t it? Well, it IS amazing! But it is nothing like lasagna. It is really more enchilada like….ish. I have no idea who named it that or why. I have tried renaming it but nothing ever sticks. So, it remains Mexican Lasagna.

The recipe was given to me by my husband’s great Aunt Thora when we got married. Maybe the elderly Norwegian woman didn’t know anything about Mexican or Italian cuisine? I am not sure if she made or named the recipe but whoever did was not aware of how lasagna is constructed!

No matter what it is called it is delicious and easy to make with very few ingredients.
