Step 1
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef and chorizo, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Add diced pepper and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Spread the meat mixture in an even layer. Top with shredded cheese and cover with a lid or foil.
Step 4
Cook covered for 2 minutes until cheese melts. The surface should look glossy and pull apart easily.
Step 5
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
Step 6
Scoop the cheesy meat mixture into tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro and diced onion. Serve immediately.
