Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cilantro Crema

    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create more room for the filling.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Stuff each avocado half with the cooked chorizo. Top with shredded Oaxaca cheese.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the stuffed avocados under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, top with arugula, and drizzle with cilantro crema. Serve immediately.
