Instructions
- 1
Prepare the white rice base and set it aside to rest while you get the filling ready.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the cured chorizo, tomatillos, rehydrated dried chilies, and dried oregano, mixing well so everything is evenly seasoned.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet, wok, or on a griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Cook the white rice until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to a warm plate.
- 5
Fry, grill, or steam the cured chorizo mixture until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 0 mins.
- 6
Assemble by layering the white rice with the filling, a spoonful of crumbled cotija cheese, and a scattering of oregano.
Tips
•Keep the olive oil hot but not smoking — a thermometer helps you nail the perfect frying or grilling temperature.
•Serve immediately for the best contrast between a crisp exterior and a warm, tender filling.
