Prepare the Chorizo

In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo sausage. Cook until the chorizo is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Reduce the heat to low and add the Queso Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese to the skillet with the chorizo. Stir until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.

3

Garnish and Serve

Chop the fresh cilantro and jalapeño (if using) and sprinkle over the melted choriqueso. Serve hot with tortilla chips or warm tortillas.
