Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown chorizo sausage and break it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Add onions and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and cook until outsides are slightly blistered and tomato has softened.
Add in the orzo and toss to toast a bit.
Add the beef broth and tomato paste then bring to a boil and cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until orzo has cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Once done, add spinach and cook until wilted. Then add the cheese and stir to melt. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve with crumbled queso fresco on top.
