Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time30 mins
Total Time45 mins
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4
Author: The Flip Flop Wife

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Muenster Cheese
  • 1 lb Jack Cheese
  • 1 6 oz can Diced Chilies or Jalapenos
  • 2 Green Bell Peppers
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 lb Chorizo

Instructions

  • Heat skillet with olive oil.
  • Squeeze Chorizo from skins into skillet and brown meat.
  • Shred Cheese.
  • Dice Bell Peppers.
  • Layer 1/2 of shredded cheese into bottom of greased, or nonstick, baking pan.
  • Spread 1/2 of browned Chorizo on top of cheese.
  • Spread 1/2 of bell peppers over Chorizo.
  • Top with Diced Chilies.
  • Layer 2/3 of remaining cheese on top of chilies.
  • Spread remaining Chorizo and peppers and chilies over cheese layer.
  • Top with last 1/3 of shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 325 for 20-30 minutes until cheese is thoroughly melted and browning around edges.
  • Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas.

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded cheese to make this a quick dish. I could only find block Jack and Muenster.
  • Warm tortillas on a long skillet using oil or steam in microwave. You could use any type of sausage for this or even hamburger.
  • Top with lettuce, sour cream, and salsa for added crunch and flavor. (Although, this might be sacrilege to the authentic dish, but I like it!)


Steps

Heat skillet with olive oil and gather ingredients.

Squeeze Chorizo from skins into skillet and brown meat.

Shred Cheese.

Dice Bell Peppers.

Layer 1/2 of shredded cheese into bottom of greased, or nonstick, baking pan.

Spread 1/2 of browned Chorizo on top of cheese.

Spread 1/2 of bell peppers over Chorizo.

Top with Diced Chilies.

Repeat layers until all cheese and toppings are in the dish.

Bake at 325 for 20-30 minutes until cheese is thoroughly melted and browning around edges.

Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas.

And let the cheese warm your heart and tummy!
