Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork or beef chorizo
  • 16 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Begin by preheating the oven to ensure it's ready for baking the cheese to melty perfection.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until fully cooked and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break apart the chorizo as it cooks to ensure even browning.
  3. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and spread the cooked chorizo evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the cooked chorizo, covering it completely.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving with tortilla chips or warm flour tortillas.
