Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles immediately.

    Add ground beef and chorizo, breaking up with a spoon until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in diced onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Lay tortillas flat in the skillet over the meat, then top with shredded cheese and jalapeños.

  5. Step 5

    Cover and cook over medium until cheese melts and tortilla edges brown and crisp, 3–4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a plate, scatter cilantro over top, and serve hot.
