Ingredients
9 ounces raw pork chorizo, removed from casing
1/2 cup chopped white onions
3/4 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1 pound shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
One 11-ounce package tortilla chips
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Directions
- In a large heavy saute pan, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain off excess fat.
- In a saucepan, add the wine and lemon juice. Bring slowly to a boil and reduce the heat to medium low. Add the cheese and cornstarch and whisk until the cheese is fully melted.
- Arrange the tortilla chips on a serving platter. Drizzle with the melted cheese mixture. Top with chorizo-onion mixture. Garnish with the cilantro and chives. Serve immediately.
