I have to tell you how much I LOVE your blog!!! I share it with everyone I know! EVERYTHING I have made, and I have made a lot of your recipes, has been AMAZING. I made this tonight and have to say, although I cooked too long and made it mushy, it was “to die for!” Thank you so much for all you do!!!

Been so excited the whole week to have this for dinner tonight and it certainly did not disappoint!! Absolutely delicious and felt like such a treat being able to eat all that yummy chorizo and avocado by using pumpkin instead of actual rice! So good!

In reply to Alissandra Maffucci. The frozen butternut squash rice worked perfectly! I made these 3 weeks ago & the whole family really loved them. I think it was the chorizo & creamy avocado that did it! I had never eaten cooked avocado before & was wondering if it would be good. We love avocado raw.. but cooked?? Well, question was laid to rest, it was so creamy & helped offset the strong taste of chorizo. The kids said they couldn't even taste the squash! So I riced a whole butternut squash & saved 1/2 of it in the freezer. Pulled it out a couple days ago & defrosted in fridge & then used it in the recipe again tonight. Perfect! Made it a really quick & easy dinner. And also another thanks for cooking avocado. I made a recipe a couple weeks ago that used avocado on a homemade pizza. Dice & top a pizza with avocado. It was so good....made you need less cheese as it was a creamy addition. Now love cooked avocado & will try & remember to try it on other things in place of cheese. Thank you for the inspirational recipe!YUM!

These were delicious! Didn’t have Monterrey jack so used crumbled feta instead. Came out great!

Regular chorizo – sometimes I like smoked chorizo, but regular chorizo is fine! This is an example: https://www.freshdirect.com/category.jsp?catId=dai_packa_saus&prodCatId=dai_packa_saus&productId=del_dar_chorizo&trk=srch

In reply to Erika. Yes, you can definitely do that! You can freeze it or keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days! Definitely defrost the rice first before you put it in the pan.
