Ingredients
  

  • 1 small roma tomato diced
  • 1 small serrano pepper seeded and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh oregano chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups shredded Cheddar and Jack cheese blend
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 4- ounces fresh chorizo
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup lager beer or chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the tomato, serrano pepper, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the cheese with the flour until well coated. Set aside.
  • Set a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook until softened. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
