1 Set an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler on high.
2 Add the ground chorizo to a 12-inch cast iron skillet or frying pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and breaking it up into crumbles, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion and green chiles and cook with the chorizo until soft and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
3 Turn off the heat, then add the shredded pepper Jack, cheddar, and Oaxaca cheeses on top of the ground chorizo in the skillet. Use a spoon to make little pockets in the meat so the cheese is well incorporated without stirring.
4 Place the skillet or baking dish in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with diced grape tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and/or queso fresco, if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
