QUESO FUNDIDO CON CHORIZO

 
A quick and simple supper in under 10 minutes
 
(serves 1)
 
Ingredients
1 10" flour tortilla
1 cooking chorizo sliced into disks
1/4 red and green bell peppers sliced
1/2 small onion sliced
100g ish of grated cheese
(I use a equal mix of Monetary Jack, Mozzarella and Cheddar medium)
1 bunch coriander rough torn
1 habanero chilli de-seeded sliced

In a non stick pan, no need for oil, fry the chorizo, meanwhile place the tortilla under the grill for a one to two minutes to just slightly crisp, keep your eyes on it as they burn very quickly.  Take out and layer on the peppers, onions followed by the cheese, pop back under the grill to melt.  You can melt this in the microwave instead but you will not have the depth of flavour you get from the grill where it browns off some of the cheese and tortilla.

Once the cheese has melted sprinkle on the chilli, coriander and pan fried chorizo then drizzle over the cooking oil that the chorizo released, this is a fantastic bonus of flavours from the paprika and pork fat.  I never waste this, if I don't need it immediately I will pour it into a small bowl and keep in the fridge to use as a flavour boost or when feeling really naughty spread on crispy sour dough toast...
