- 1 serrano chili pepper, minced (optional)
- 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

- 6 flour tortillas
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Pour off the fat.
- Add the onion, tomato and mushrooms and chile, if using, and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

- Meanwhile, spread the cheese in a small metal baking dish and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until completely melted.
