- Chorizo – Ground pork sausage with Mexican inspired spices. Please don’t grab the tube kind – it’s all grease and little meat. Look in the meat section near the ground pork or sausage.
- Creamed Corn – One can of creamed corn – Find it on Amazon.
- Monterey Jack Cheese – I like the creaminess of using just jack cheese in this recipe.
- Corn Tortillas – Yellow corn tortillas, Find them on Amazon.
- Poblano Peppers – Sometimes called pasilla peppers at the grocery.
- Onion – Yellow onion, plain and simple.
- Toppings – Top with your favorites, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, queso fresco or salsa.
