Ingredients

  • 200 g Spanish chorizo
  • 1 pc Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely chopped
  • 4-5 pcs Tomatoes (about 500 g)
  • 3 pcs Chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
  • Chipotle chilies Optional

Instructions

  • Slice the chorizo and set aside.
  • Slice the onion into thin strips and dice the tomatoes.
  • Add the chorizo to a hot frying pan and fry over medium heat, stirring constantly, to release all the fat.
  • When the chorizo is almost done, add the onion and garlic, mix and fry for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, or until the tomatoes are soft.
  • Add the shredded chicken and season with salt. Cook for another 5 minutes so the flavours come together. For some heat, add chipotle sauce or chipotle chilies.
