Chorri Pollo is a Chorizo sausage and chicken dish served with cheese on top. My husband orders it whenever we go to Mexican restaurants, so I decided to make it myself. I have been making Chorri Pollo now for several years but decided it needed an upgrade to fit more into a healthy lifestyle. Hubby likes this version even better than the first! It has less fat than my original recipe, and is not quite as spicy. I like to use fresh salsa instead of cheese on mine. It cuts even more fat and tastes delicious! We serve it with rice to soak up the juices!
