Recipe for Chori-Pollo?!
I know the basics, Chroizo, chicken, cheese sauce, rice, beans, but I'm not sure how to get it all together with the great flavor you get at a resturant.

Saute mushrooms in a little butter. Add whatever amount of pepper you can handle. Set aside for later.
Brown the chorizo in the saute pan. I didn't add any seasonings. Scoop out the sausage, but leave the fat in the pan.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-size strips. Add a little salt, pepper and taco seasoning (adjust to your spice level). Then toss it into the chorizo drippings. And for goodness sake, don't overcook the chicken! These little strips take no time to cook through.
Grate a block of queso. You'll use most of it for the sauce, but I save a little for melting on top.
In a separate pan, melt a block of queso with milk. Depending on how thick I want the sauce I use 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk. Remember it will thicken as it cools, so make it a little thinner than you think it should be.
Once everything is ready, dump it into a 9x13 casserole dish. Top with the extra cheese and bake (or broil if you're hungry) until the cheese is melted.
I totally cheat on the rice and buy it in a box. Making a cheater's version of refried beans is as simple heating a can of pintos with a little garlic, cumin and cayenne. Once the beans are hot, take out your agressions with a potato masher until the beans are a smooth consistency.
And don't forget to keep your warmed tortillas covered with a damp cloth. Nobody likes crumbly tortillas!
Marinate the chicken in pineapple juice.
Brown the chorizo in the saute pan.
Scoop out the sausage, but leave the fat in the pan.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-size strips. Add a little salt, pepper and a bit of taco seasoning. Add a tiny pinch of cinnamon.
Then toss it into the chorizo drippings.
