Brown the chorizo: Heat a large pan or skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add the chorizo and break it into fine crumbs with a wooden spoon. Stir and cook the chorizo until it is slightly browned (about 5 to 7 minutes). Once the chorizo is fully cooked turn off the heat and remove ½ of the chorizo from the pan/skillet. Then distribute the remaining chorizo evenly in the pan/skillet.

Partially melt the cheese: top the remaining chorizo with the shredded cheese. Cover the pan/skillet with a lid and place it over medium-low heat. Let this cook for a couple of minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.

Finish the dish: Take the lid off the pan/skillet and distribute the ½ of chorizo you removed earlier over the cheese. Use a wooden spoon to gently press the chorizo into the partially melted cheese. Then cover the pan/skillet once again with a lid and let it finish cooking until the cheese is completely melted (about 3 to 5 minutes).

Serve the choriqueso hot with some chips or tortillas. Enjoy!
