It’s always a big deal when my parents come to our house to visit because we are usually the ones traveling to see them! My mom and I love to watch the show Chopped together when they come over and when I found out about the Chopped At Home Challenge with Sargento cheese, I knew that we had to cook up a meal using the 4 challenge ingredients. These 4 Cheese Mexican Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs were so amazing that my mom told me we had to make them again when we came over to see them next time! This is quickly becoming our favorite family meal.

The Sargento 4 cheese Mexican blend was great with this dish and melted perfectly in the chicken! I had a little predicament coming up with a way to use the corn tortillas and so I decided to fry them up to add a little crunch to the dish. I just crumbled them on top after the dish was cooked and it really added that finishing touch.

The 4 ingredients for this Chopped challenge are 4 Cheese Mexican Blend, Corn tortillas, Poblano peppers, and chicken thighs. When thinking of these ingredients I immediately thought of how much I like bacon wrapped chicken thighs and then I knew that a Tex Mex version would taste great!

Inside the chicken thighs I stuffed as much of the Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Blend as I could and then on top of that I added chopped poblano peppers and onions. Then I wrapped everything up with bacon before cooking. The flavors worked perfectly together and everyone in our family loved this dish.
