ingredients
- 1 cup chorizo (I used Trader Joe's soy chorizo)
- 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or other melting cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 lime, for juice
- tortilla chips, for serving
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. In a small-medium cast iron skillet, heat olive oil (if using regular/non vegetarian chorizo.. you can skip this step!)
Step 2
Add chorizo, and cook through. About 5 minutes.
Step 3
Scoop out about a tablespoon of cooked chorizo for garnish.
Step 4
Cover chorizo with cheese. Oaxaca, mozzarella, quesadilla, or Monterey Jack work great for this.
Step 5
Transfer skillet to oven for about 5-7 minutes, until cheese has melted and lightly browned on top.
Step 6
Top with reserved chorizo, and finish with a squeeze of lime (and sliced green onion or cilantro if desired)
Step 7
Serve warm with tortilla chips, warmed flour tortillas, or literally anything else you'd scoop cheese up with!
Step 8
This is *not* a liquid-like queso. More melty, cheese pully style :)
