Ingredients

- 12 ounces shredded Oaxaca cheese
- 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the chorizo sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
Add the finely chopped onion, diced poblano pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drain any excess fat if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Oaxaca cheese and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Spread the cooked chorizo and vegetable mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the chorizo and vegetables.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of salt.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or warm tortillas.
