Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 75°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Onions

    Slice the onions into rings. Grill the onions until they are nicely charred and softened, about 5-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the grilled chicken breasts, top with chorizo, grilled onions, and sprinkle the cheese on top. Let it melt slightly from the heat.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve with rice, beans, and warm corn or flour tortillas on the side.
