- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 8 ounces prepared gnocchi
- 3 ounces minimum cheddar cheese, shredded - add more for EXTRA CHEESY!
- Homemade guacamole for serving

Get a pot of salted water boiling for when you’re ready to cook the gnocchi.
Heat a pan to medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook it about 3 minutes, breaking it apart as you go along.
Add the jalapeno peppers and cook about 6-7 minutes to soften and char the jalapeno peppers.
Toss the gnocchi into the boiling water and boil them about 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to float.
While gnocchi is cooking, add garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Scoop the gnocchi into the pan along with a couple tablespoons of the pasta water. Stir and cook to crisp up the gnocchi a bit.
Add cheese over the top of the ingredients and reduce heat to low. Cover and allow cheese to melt.
Top with homemade guacamole and chopped tomato.
Enjoy!
