Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until it's browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cheese Dip

    In a bowl, mix the cooked chorizo with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Combine Chicken and Chorizo Cheese Dip

    Once the chicken is grilled, remove it from the grill and top each piece with the chorizo cheese mixture. Close the grill lid for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.

  6. 6

    Prepare Rice and Beans

    Cook rice according to package instructions. Heat black beans in a small pot until warm.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the chori-pollo with rice, black beans, pico de gallo, and warm tortillas on the side.
