One day at Kroger they had these little 9oz tubes of Chorizo for $1 each. I bought a couple not knowing what I would do with them. Last week Publix had Vigo rice mixes BOGO. I bought the cilantro lime version. Tonight I came up with a recipe and used both.
Vigo Cilantro Lime rice mix
9 oz tube of chorizo sausage
1/2 onion diced
1 clove of garlic minced
1 can rotel, you choose the heat
Mexican blend cheese
1 lime
Sour cream
Chicken broth
2 Tablespoons butter
Start 2 cups of chicken broth boiling in a pot. Meanwhile scramble the chorizo, diced onion and garlic together in a skillet. When onion is soft add the Rotel. Let simmer. When broth comes to a boil, add the butter and the rice and stir for 1 minute while it boils. Lower heat to a simmer and put on a good fitting top on the pot. Simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Take a bowl and make a bed of the rice. Top with the chorizo mix. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Mix about a half cup of sour cream with the juice of half a lime. This make creama which is delicious drizzled over the top. Serve with tortilla chips and additional lime, if you like.
