Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the rib-eye steak, chicken breast, and chorizo into bite-sized pieces. Marinate with salt, black pepper, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Proteins

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the rib-eye, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes for chicken and rib-eye, 3-5 minutes for shrimp). Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary. Sauté the banana peppers, onions, cactus, and bell peppers until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Melt Cheese

    In a molcajete or a cast-iron skillet, combine the grilled proteins and sautéed vegetables. Top with the Mexican cheese and return to the heat until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sizzling molcajete immediately with a side of rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole salad, and warm tortillas.
