Directions

  • Step one

    Pour undrained tomatoes and onion into food processor or blender and process until very smooth, about a minute. Pour into 4-cup measuring cup. Add enough chicken broth to make 4 cups of liquid total, about 2-1/2 cups of broth.

  • Step two

    Heat a large non-stick skillet that has a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add chorizo to pan and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel lined dish, leaving a little of the fat in the pan.

  • Step three

    Add oil and rice to skillet and cook until rice is just starting to brown, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in broth and tomato mixture, carrot, and garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender, and liquid is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes.

  • Step four

    Remove lid and stir in peas and corn. Top with chorizo. Cover and let stand a few minutes. Garnish your spicy chorizo rice with cilantro and serve!
