Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chorizo — Make sure to choose a good quality chorizo with a balance of smokiness and spiciness. You can adjust the amount of chorizo according to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
- Manchego cheese — Opt for aged manchego cheese for a more pronounced flavor. If you can't find manchego, you can substitute it with another hard cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
- Roasted red peppers — You can use store-bought roasted red peppers or roast them yourself. If roasting at home, place the peppers under the broiler until the skin is charred, then let them cool before peeling and slicing.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes over the toppings before baking.
- Customize the toppings to your liking by adding diced tomatoes, jalapenos, or even some cooked ground beef or shredded chicken.
- Serve the Mostachos de Utrera with a side of guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for dipping.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the chorizo and add more vegetables like grilled zucchini or sautéed mushrooms.
- To make the dish more colorful, use a mix of regular tortilla chips and blue corn tortilla chips.
Serving advice
Serve the Mostachos de Utrera as an appetizer or a snack. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh cilantro for an added touch of freshness. Encourage your guests to dig in and enjoy the combination of flavors and textures.
Presentation advice
Present the Mostachos de Utrera on a rustic wooden board or a colorful ceramic platter to showcase the vibrant colors of the toppings. Arrange the tortilla chips in an organized manner and evenly distribute the toppings for an appealing visual presentation.
