Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Step 2

Place a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the bottom, about 6 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Once cooked, remove the excess fat from the skillet or place the cooked chorizo on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Divide the chorizo into 2 large ovenproof dishes, setting aside 2 tablespoons to garnish when ready to serve.

Step 5

Place the grated cheese over the chorizo and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 6

Serve warm with pico de gallo and plenty of flour tortillas or tortilla chips, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
