1
Prepare the Chorizo
In a skillet over medium heat, add the green pork chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to break up the meat.
2
Fry the Tortillas
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the masa harina tortillas one at a time and fry until golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
3
Prepare the Onion and Cilantro
Finely chop the onion and cilantro. Set aside for garnish.
4
Assemble the Vampiro
On each fried tortilla, layer the cooked chorizo, a generous sprinkle of queso asadero, and top with chopped onion and cilantro. If desired, sprinkle chapulines over the top for added crunch and flavor.
5
Season to Taste
Add salt and black pepper to taste on top of the assembled Vampiro.
6
Serve
Serve the Green Chorizo Vampiro immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
