Watch how to make this recipe.

Preheat the oven to broil.

In a nonstick skillet, brown the chorizo until cooked though. Drain on several paper towels and set aside.

In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, layer the grated Cheddar, fontina, mozzarella and pepper Jack and top with the chorizo. Broil the fundido until bubbly and golden.

Char the tortillas directly over the cook-top flame until blistered.

Top the fundido with the cilantro and pickled jalapenos and serve with the charred tortillas.
