Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light greasing to your favorite baking dish to ensure nothing sticks.
Step 2
Next, take the casings off the chorizo and toss it into a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Sauté it for about 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s beautifully crumbly and browned.
Step 4
Once it’s cooked to perfection, transfer the chorizo to a large bowl and set it aside for now.
Step 5
In that same skillet, melt some butter and add in the diced onion and celery.
Step 6
Sauté these aromatic veggies for about 5 to 7 minutes until they’re soft and inviting.
Step 7
Then, stir in the garlic and let it cook for another minute until your kitchen is filled with its delightful fragrance.
Step 8
Toss in the chopped cilantro and mix everything together before adding this vibrant mixture to the bowl with the chorizo.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Add the crumbled cornbread and a splash of chicken broth to the bowl, stirring gently until everything is well combined and ready to shine.
Step 10
Transfer this delicious stuffing mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 11
Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it’s heated through and the top is starting to turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 12
When it’s ready, serve it warm, and don’t forget to sprinkle some crumbled cotija cheese on top for that extra touch of flavor.

Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to bring smiles to the table!.
