Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400º F.
- In a 9-inch skillet, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 4 minutes. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix all cheeses in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Build the skillet: Place half of the cheese in the skillet. Add half the chorizo and veggies mixture. Add half of the diced avocado. Add all of the remaining cheese and the rest of the chorizo mixture.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 15-20 minutes. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to overbake, as the cheese will start to harden, and it will be difficult to scoop it out with chips.
- Remove from the oven, top with the diced tomatoes, serrano pepper, remaining avocado, and sprinkle with the cilantro.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Greetings from the Gringo! What is “quesadilla cheese”? I’m thinking cotija or something. Answers? This recipe looks amazing!
Hi Jim! You can find quesadilla cheese in most grocery stores. Look in the refrigerated section (close to cheddar, mozzarella, etc). I got mine in Safeway. You can also find it in Hispanic markets. A good substitute is grated Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese. Note: Oaxaca cheese can be found in Hispanic markets as well. It’s my favorite but sometime it hard to find in my area.
So delicious! This is my favorite thing to eat! I am so making this at home!
The avocado just makes it all so fun and bright. Really makes every recipe special.
