Ingredient Notes

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While the chorizo cooks, mash the avocado in a bowl, then mix in the lime juice for brightness.
  3. Step 3: Once chorizo is cooked, remove from heat and spread mashed avocado on toast.
  4. Step 4: Generously top with chorizo and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Cooking chorizo can sometimes create splatter; use a splatter guard if needed. Leftover chorizo can be stored in the fridge for 3 days and reheated easily. Avocados can brown quickly, so keep the pit in any unused halves or store them with lime juice. This recipe can be made ahead; just prep the avocado without lime juice and combine when ready to serve.

Q: How do I store leftovers?

A: Store the chorizo in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days

Q: How spicy is this dish?
