Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Mexican pork chorizo casing removed
  • 2 cups Oaxaca cheese shredded
  • 2 jalapeño peppers seeded and diced
  • 1 medium sweet onion diced
  • Optional: cilantro tomatoes, green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Remove chorizo from casing and prep all vegetables. Let cheese come to room temperature.
  2. Cook chorizo in large skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up until well-browned.
  3. Add diced onion and cook 4-5 minutes until softened. Add jalapeños and cook 2-3 minutes more.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add half the cheese and stir gently until melted.
  5. Gradually add remaining cheese, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately while hot with tortilla chips, bread, or tortillas. Garnish as desired.

Notes

Use Mexican chorizo, not Spanish. Don't drain all the chorizo fat - it helps melt the cheese. Keep heat low when melting cheese to prevent breaking.
