1
Cook the Chorizo
In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks.
2
Add Aromatics
Once the chorizo is cooked, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.

3
Combine the Cheeses
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well to combine.
4
Layer in Skillet
Reduce the heat to low. Spread the chorizo and onion mixture evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the top.
5
Melt the Cheese
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

6
Prepare the Tortillas
While the cheese is melting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or on a tortilla warmer until soft and pliable.
7
Garnish and Serve
Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and lime wedges on the side.
