Ingredients

• 5 ounces uncooked chorizo sausage
• 1 cup white onion
• 1 serrano chile pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 3 cups Monterey Jack cheese
• pico de gallo
• 16 flours tortillas

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. 2

   Brown chorizo in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, over medium, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. 3

   Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. In the same skillet, add oil if needed and cook onion and chile pepper until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt.

   Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the chorizo and sprinkle with Chihuahua cheese.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and bubbles, 8 to 10 minutes. If desired, broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until top is beginning to blister.

   Top with reserved chorizo and desired toppers. Serve with warm tortillas.
