Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
Wash and dry all produce. - Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/8-inch pieces.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- To a medium bowl, add tomatoes, lime juice, half the cilantro, a quarter of the onions, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan (large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, chorizo, Tex-Mex paste, tomato sauce base and remaining onions. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Stir in 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Remove from heat.
- While chorizo cooks, snip one corner of tortilla chip bag. Using hands or a rolling pin, crush into bite-sized pieces.
- Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips and cheese over top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 3-5 min, until cheese is melted.
- While chorizo bakes, massage the pouch of rice to separate the grains.
- Heat rice in the microwave for 2 min, as indicated on the back of the package. (NOTE: If you don’t have a microwave, stir-fry rice in a hot non-stick pan with a splash of water for 3 min, until heated through.)
- To a large bowl, add rice, lime zest, remaining cilantro and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir to combine.
- Divide rice between bowls.
- Top with chorizo-tortilla mixture, salsa and sour cream.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Most reviewers found the chorizo, salsa, and melted cheese combination flavourful and satisfying. Some felt the dish needed more depth, and a few found the Tex-Mex seasoning quite spicy.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward meal with minimal steps; the microwaveable rice speeds things up considerably.
- Suggestions: Reduce the red onion to about half the suggested amount to keep it from overpowering the other flavours. Adding black beans or extra vegetables like bell peppers can round out the dish nicely. Consider adding garlic or extra salsa to boost flavour if the base feels mild.
- Leftovers: The dish reheats well in an air fryer, though the tortilla chips can soften and lose their crunch when stored.
- Portions: Several reviewers found the rice portion on the small side, especially for four servings; adding an extra pouch or supplementing with your own rice is a practical fix.
- Chips: Adding the crushed tortilla chips after baking rather than before keeps them crispier and prevents them from going soggy.
