Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork chorizo or beef chorizo
- 16 ounces Monterey jack cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Begin by preheating the oven to ensure it's ready for baking the cheese to melty perfection.
- 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.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet and spread the cooked chorizo evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the cooked chorizo, covering it completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving with tortilla chips or warm flour tortillas.
