Method

Prepare the Chorizo

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside.

Prepare the Cheese Mixture

  1. 2

    Mix the Cheeses

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oaxacan cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until well blended and the mixture is somewhat uniform.

Combine and Melt

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, layer the cheese mixture evenly. Then add the cooked chorizo on top, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Serve

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle fresh cilantro, diced jalapeños, and tomatoes on top. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
