Ingredients
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo
- 0.5 medium, finely diced White onion
- 1 medium, roasted and diced Poblano pepper
- 2 cups, shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups, shredded Oaxaca cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 package Corn tortillas or tortilla chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a medium skillet set over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart into small pieces as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Once the chorizo is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil. Leave about 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the roasted and diced poblano pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 6
In a large, ovenproof dish or cast-iron skillet, evenly layer half of the shredded Monterey Jack and Oaxaca cheeses.
Step 7
Sprinkle half of the cooked chorizo, onion, and poblano mixture over the cheese layer.
Step 8
Repeat the layering with the remaining cheese and chorizo mixture.
Step 9
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Step 10
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for garnish.
Step 11
Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas or tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy the gooey, flavorful goodness!
