Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over medium to high heat. While warming, add the chorizo and break it into chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook over medium heat, turning until cooked through and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a plate.
- Drizzle olive oil and add the onions and bell peppers to the pan juices and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Return the chorizo to the skillet with the onions and bell peppers and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle cheese in the skillet.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve with flour or corn tortillas for soft tacos or with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Cheese: I recommend one pound of a combination of shredded Mexican-style melty cheeses, such as queso Oaxaca, asadero or enchilado. Feel free to substitute with mozzarella and muenster.
- Make ahead tip: This can be prepared a couple hours ahead then popped in the oven when it's fiesta time.
