- Slowly add the Monterrey Jack and cheddar cheeses to the pan over low heat. Once the cheese is melted, add the cumin, garlic powder and half of the chorizo. Stir well. Once fully combined, transfer to a serving bowl.
- Top the queso with the remaining chorizo and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
