Sizzling Chorizo Queso Nachos with Fresh Cilantro and Green Onions

Ingredients

- 8 oz chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
- 2 cups queso quesadilla cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 large bag (10 oz) tortilla chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook the Chorizo:
- In a medium skillet, cook the crumbled chorizo over medium heat until fully cooked and browned. This should take about 5 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up any large pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.

3. Arrange the Chips:
- Spread the tortilla chips evenly over a large baking sheet. Ensure they are in a single layer for even baking.

4. Layer the Ingredients:
- Sprinkle the cooked chorizo evenly over the tortilla chips.
- Next, generously distribute the shredded queso quesadilla cheese on top of the chorizo. Ensure that every chip gets some cheese.

5. Bake the Nachos:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbling.

6. Add Freshness:
- Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions over the hot nachos. This will give a bright, fresh contrast to the rich, savory flavors.

7. Serve:
- Transfer the sizzling, cheesy nachos to a serving platter and enjoy while warm.
