7/17 Tex Mex Delight

Megan doesn't usually like to cook.  This is probably a result of lack of practice, which she blames on  her parents not ever neglecting her and always providing meals on the table and all that happy childhood stuff.  Well, that and she's a really picky eater...which is one of the reasons that this 1000 tastes is a true adventure for her.  Tonight she made dinner and it turned out pretty well, so we thought we'd share the recipe.  It's not very spicy, but you can ramp that up with seasoning if you want more heat.

2 tbs olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb chorizo, sliced into medallions
10 oz dry pasta (curly, twisty types that hold sauce are recommended)
1 can mild Rotel, undrained
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
Spicy Ms Dash to taste
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack (or Pepper Jack)

In a pan, heat olive oil and brown onion and chorizo.  Add dry pasta, rotel, corn, whipping cream, and chicken broth.  Stir and bring to boil.  Add seasoning to taste.  Cover and reduce to simmer.  Simmer 20 minutes.  Add cheese, stir until melted.  Top with a little extra cheese and broil in the oven for 3 minutes to brown the top.
