Ingredients
- 10 oz pork chorizo
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 8 oz Cheddar cheese, shredded
- half of a small tomato, chopped
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- tortilla chips, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and chopped jalapeño.
- Cook, stirring, until the chorizo has browned, about 5 minutes. Add tequila to deglaze the skillet and let it reduce. Turn off the heat. Remove half of the chorizo and reserve.
- In a medium bowl, mix both kinds of cheese. Add cheese to the skillet right over the leftover chorizo.

- Serve immediately with a side of tortilla chips.
