1 small white onion, minced
1 large poblano pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 lb. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 lb. grated Oaxaca cheese
2 medium Roma tomatoes diced, for garnish
1/4 c. freshly chopped cilantro for garnish
Heat a 9 in. cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.* Add chorizo; cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and poblano pepper; saute until soft and chorizo is completely cooked through, about 7- 10 minutes. Discard excess grease and moisture. Stir in cheeses.
