Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4 small flour tortillas (or soft taco shells)
- ½ cup Queso Mexicano, cubed
- ½ cup shredded São Miguel cheese

How to Make Crispy Chorizo Cheese Tacos (Step by Step)
1. Cook the filling
Place a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or olive oil. Add the chorizo, bell peppers, onions, Italian seasoning, and cubed Portuguese Cheese Co. Queso Mexicano. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the Queso Mexicano begins to warm through.
2. Assemble the taco
Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board or plate. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on one half of the tortilla. Add the warm chorizo and Queso Mexicano mixture, then top with shredded Portuguese Cheese Co. São Miguel.
3. Fold
Fold the tortilla over into a taco shape and press gently.
4. Crisp in the pan
Place the folded taco back into the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden on the outside and the São Miguel is melted inside. Keep an eye on the tortilla so it does not over-brown.
5. Finish
Remove from the pan and let sit for a minute so the cheese sets slightly. Slice or serve whole.
Serve
Dip in extra tomato sauce if you're feeling it.
