(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 9 tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
  • 12 oz dried chorizo, chopped
  • 4 bunches scallions, chopped
  • 4- 4 oz cans chopped green chiles, drained
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 13 oz bag corn tortilla chips, coarsely crushed
  • 8 cups stale white bread cubes
  • 2 cups cubed queso fresco cheese
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 8 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the chorizo, scallions, chiles and cumin and cook, stirring, until the chorizo is slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.

  2. Whisk the eggs and cilantro in a large bowl. Add the tortilla chips, bread and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the chorizo-broth mixture and toss to combine.

  3. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish; dot with the remaining 1 tbsp butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, about 30 more minutes.
