👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Prepare the chorizo: Remove the chorizo from its casings and crumble it into a cold, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works well). Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. If there's a lot of rendered fat, carefully drain off most of it, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the skillet for flavor.

2
Assemble the cheese base: Evenly distribute the shredded or cubed Oaxaca and Chihuahua cheeses over the cooked chorizo in the skillet. If using, scatter the roasted poblano pepper strips (rajas) over the cheese.
⏱️ 2 minutes
3
Melt and bubble the cheese: Place the skillet in a preheated oven. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, gooey, and slightly bubbly around the edges. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
⏱️ 10 minutes

Finish and serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and minced jalapeño. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet, with warm flour tortillas for scooping.
