Tips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook gently breaking it up after a couple minutes. Allow it to bubble stirring infrequently until most of the bubbles have stopped and sausage is firm. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Place tomatoes into a bowl. Break into smaller pieces with the back of a fork if desired.

Step 4

Divide dough into 16 small pieces flattening each into a small circle. Place each circle on prepared baking sheet. Divide tomatoes and then the chorizo among the circles. Top with shredded Monterey Jack and crumbled cotija cheese.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until dough is golden brown and cheese has melted 8 to 15 minutes. Check after 8 minutes to ensure chorizo is not burning.

Step 6

Top with minced cilantro leaves.
