Serving Ideas
- Serve immediately with warm corn or flour tortillas.
- Use as a filling for tacos or quesadillas.
- Serve with roasted peppers, mushrooms, or grilled steak.
Chef Tips
- Serve quickly because the cheese firms as it cools.
- Use Oaxaca cheese for the best stretch.
- Drain excess chorizo fat if it looks too oily.
Storage
Best served immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2 days and reheated gently, but the texture is best fresh.
Allergen Notes
