Ingredients
- 2 cans 15.5 oz hominy (white or yellow), drained and rinsed
- 1 lb Mexican chorizo casing removed (or shredded chicken)
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 poblano pepper or jalapeño seeded and diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa verde
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- Fresh cilantro chopped
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish or a large oven-safe cast-iron skillet.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo (breaking it apart with a spoon), diced onion, and poblano pepper until the meat is fully cooked and the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the drained hominy, sour cream, salsa verde, cumin, cayenne pepper, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- If using a cast-iron skillet, smooth the top of the mixture in the pan. If using a separate skillet, transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Top evenly with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
