Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 lb Mexican chorizo casing removed
- 8 oz Oaxaca cheese shredded
- 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 0.5 cup white onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 batch Warm flour or corn tortillas for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside half of the chorizo.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced jalapeno until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and gradually fold in the shredded Oaxaca and Monterey Jack cheeses, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
- Top the melted cheese mixture with the reserved cooked chorizo.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately with warm tortillas.
Notes
Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and stretchy. Reheating may cause the cheese to separate.
