Ingredients

🌶️ 9 oz Pork chorizo
🫒 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
🧅 ½ Onion, thinly sliced
🌶️ 3 Jalapeños
🍅 2 Roma tomatoes
🧄 1 Garlic clove
💧 ½ cup Water, adjust as needed
🧂 Salt, precise quantity not available
🧀 ½ cup Shredded Oaxaca cheese
🧀 ½ cup Crumbled queso fresco, plus more for topping
🌽 8 Corn tortillas

Instructions

1- Cook the Chorizo:

In a HexClad non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the 9 oz of pork chorizo and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Reserve one-third of the cooked chorizo in a glass bowl and set it aside.

2- Prepare the Sauce:

Add the ½ thinly sliced onion to the skillet with the remaining chorizo and cook until the onion is soft and fragrant.
In a Nutribullet blender cup, blend 3 jalapeños, 2 Roma tomatoes, 1 garlic clove, and ½ cup of water until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture over the chorizo and onions in the skillet.
Season with salt to taste and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.

3- Assemble the Filling:

In the glass bowl with the reserved chorizo, mix ½ cup of shredded Oaxaca cheese and ½ cup of crumbled queso fresco using a fork.

4- Prepare the Tortillas:

On a hot non-stick griddle, use some rendered chorizo fat from the skillet to lightly fry 8 corn tortillas until pliable and slightly golden.

5- Assemble and Serve:

Fill each tortilla with the chorizo and cheese mixture, roll them up, and place them on a white, enamel-rimmed serving plate.
Generously spoon the tomato-jalapeño sauce over the rolled tortillas.
Finish with a generous amount of crumbled queso fresco on top.
