- 12 ounces mexican chorizo sausage (beef or pork)
- 1 (12 ounce) round asadero cheese (or other white melting cheese)

- 1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- fresh corn tortillas or flour tortilla, as needed
directions
- Preheat oven to 300°F
- Heat chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly and spoon off most of the fat.
- Slice cheese into 1-inch cubes; place half in a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half the chorizo and remaining cheese. Top with remaining chorizo. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until creamy and bubbly.
