Chorizo Fajita Fattie

[30" Jim]

This is my first attempt at a Fattie. It turned out great and I learned a lot along the way.

I started with 1# 93/7 hamburger and 1# Chorizo.
Browned and well drained 1/2# of the Chorizo and blended the other 1/2# into the hamburger.
Cut up some onion, yellow and orange bell peppers I had on hand.

Stuffing

Rolled out the meat mixture

Spread a layer of Taco Sauce on the meat followed by the Chorizo, Peppers, Onions and Cheddar Cheese

That is looking real good so far!
And I like the fact that you didn't use the bacon weave, cause that second layer never gets done!
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!

Found a recipe for Spanish Rice on the internet. Here it is simmering.

5 hours at 240 F in my MES to 170 F IT

First slices

And here it is!
I didn't take any shots of the Plating. We just put a couple of slices next to a pile of rice and sat down to eat.
Only thing I did wrong was to take the stuffing al the way to the edge. Stiffing was falling out at the bottom.

That looks delicious. Did the taco flavor carry through the cook.

The predominant flavor that came thru was the Chorizo. I didn't use any extra seasoning figuring that the chorizo was going to cover it. Next time I will season the peppers and onions with a taco or fajita seasoning.
