Instructions

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

Contains dairy. Chorizo may contain spices or vinegar; check labels. Naturally egg-free and nut-free.
