Mushroom Choriqueso

Yxta Salsa Brava

Method

Guacamole

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

    Mash and Mix

    Using a fork, mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Add lime juice, chopped red onion, diced tomatoes, cilantro, salt, and minced jalapeño. Mix well.

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt or jalapeño.

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

  2. 5

    Add the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Combine Cream Cheese and Cheddar

    Reduce heat to low and add the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk to the skillet. Stir until the cheeses are melted and combined.
