Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When shimmering, lay tortillas one at a time and cook 30 seconds per side until charred and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
In the same skillet, cook chorizo over medium-high, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Top each crispy tortilla with shredded oaxaca cheese, then spoon chorizo on top.
Step 4
Return topped tortillas to the skillet and cook 1–2 minutes until cheese melts, working in batches if needed.
Step 5
Drizzle with lime juice and scatter cotija cheese and cilantro over the top. Serve immediately.
