Chorizo Cheesy Tacos

 Oh my is this good.    I personally think it's fine for dinner, even though it's supposed to be an appetizer.   It's really good as a dip with fresh corn chips.  

CHORIZO CHEEZY TACOS

Ingredients:

*1 tablespoon lard (or vegetable oil)

*1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped

*1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed (unless you want the extra heat) and chopped small

*1 1/2 pounds  chorizo

*Oaxaca cheese (if you can't find that use mozzarella cheese)

~Add in onion and jalapeño pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.

~Add in chorizo,  chop meat as it cooks.  Cook for about 7-8 minutes.

~Spread remaining half evenly over bottom of the pan.

~Add cheese evenly over top of chorizo.

~Even sprinkle the rest of the chorizo over the cheese.
