- 1 medium bell pepper (red or yellow), diced
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced
- 1.5 cups shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
- 8 count corn tortillas

Instructions
- 1
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef and chorizo, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.

Add diced pepper and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Spread the meat mixture in an even layer. Top with shredded cheese and cover with a lid or foil.
