Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. If using jalapeños, add them to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low, then add both the Chihuahua and Monterey Jack cheeses to the skillet with the chorizo. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas on the side for dipping.
