Our Chorizo and Rice Skillet is a one-pan wonder that’s bursting with delicious flavor and can be on your dinner table quickly, with only one dish to clean up after dinner!
Made with our award-winning Mexican-style Chorizo Sausage, this dish is packed with yummy Tex-mex flavors and can be customized to your own tastes in so many ways. Here are a few suggestions:
- Add more vegetables, like a can of drained corn or even more peppers to the skillet.
- If you enjoy beans, you can stir in a can of drained black beans along with the rice and vegetables for an even more protein-packed meal.
- Are you a spicy person? Feel free to add a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to bring roasty heat to this dish.
Our Chorizo sausage is perfectly seasoned and will lend its flavor to the vegetables it cooks alongside. If you really enjoy Mexican flavors, we recommend seasoning the vegetables with your favorite taco seasoning as they cook, but to save time and ingredients, this step is not necessary.
You can enjoy this easy weeknight meal straight out of the skillet it’s made in, or you can try these serving suggestions:
- Serve it wrapped in warmed tortillas for a fajita-style feast.
- Scoop it up with crunchy tortilla chips like nachos!
- Or use this mixture as a filling for stuffed peppers or even enchiladas.
One of the best parts about Tex-Mex food is all of the toppings you can add to your dish. If you’re serving our Chorizo and Rice skillet right out of the skillet and onto your plate, here are a few topping suggestions:
- A dollop of sour cream.
- Avocado or guacamole for creamy, rich flavor.
- Chopped cilantro or green onion on top for vibrance and color.
- Pickled jalapeños if you’re a fan of spice and crunch.
- Salsa to add even more flavor.
- Wedges of lime to brighten up the flavors.
We hope you enjoy our Chorizo and Rice skillet. It’s an easy and delicious weeknight meal that’s meant to be enjoyed with minimal fuss. Did you make any tweaks to the recipe? Let us know in the comments.
We’ll see you soon at Lake Geneva Country Meats!
Ingredients
- 1 lb LGCM Chorizo
- 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (14 oz)
- 1 Green Pepper (diced)
- 1 Yellow Pepper (diced)
- 1 Yellow Onion (diced)
- 1 cup Brown Rice
- .5 cup Chicken Broth
Directions
Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and once it is hot. Add the chorizo sausage and cook for about 6 – 8 minutes, breaking the sausage up with a spatula as it cooks, until the chorizo is browned and slightly crispy. Once the chorizo is cooked, remove the chorizo from the pan, leaving the grease behind.
Add the diced tomatoes, green pepper, yellow pepper, and onion to the skillet and stir into the grease. Season with taco seasoning if desired. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the vegetables are softened.
Once the vegetables are softened, return the chorizo to the pan, and add the rice and chicken broth to the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer for approximately 20 – 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked through. Serve as described above.
Enjoy – cheers!
