Equipment you will use

Oven

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo to the pan, adding a little corn oil, if necessary, to help lubricate the meat and allow it to cook and crumble. It depends on the fat content of the sausage. Cook, breaking up often with a wooden spoon, until the fat has completely rendered and the meat is beginning to crisp, 7-10 minutes.

In a shallow ramekin or other flame-proof dish, spread half the cheese on the bottom and slide into the oven. Cook for 5 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt, then remove and sprinkle the chorizo over it. Cover with the remaining cheese and cook until it's completely melted, another 5-7 minutes. Once melted, turn on the broiler and broil for 2 minutes until golden on top.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican works really well with Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Burn Cottage Cashburn Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
