Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken and Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Combine the Proteins

    Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the chicken and shrimp. Stir well to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Arrachera

    In a separate skillet, heat a little oil over high heat. Add the sliced Arrachera and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, layer the chorizo, chicken, and shrimp mixture. Top with the cooked Arrachera slices.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice or tortillas.
