Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced pepper and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the meat mixture in an even layer. Top with shredded cheese and cover with a lid or foil.

  4. Step 4

    Cook covered for 2 minutes until cheese melts. The surface should look glossy and pull apart easily.

  5. Step 5

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

  6. Step 6

    Scoop the cheesy meat mixture into tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro and diced onion. Serve immediately.
