Cheese and chorizo tacos are a great way to enjoy the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine without spending all day in the kitchen. Tacos are so simple that they can be made with just a few ingredients and basic equipment.

The first thing to do is find the right type of tortillas. We recommend using wheat flour tortillas for this taco recipe because they’ll hold up better on the grill or in a skillet than corn-flour tortillas would.

You’ll also need some cheese – the best ones will be Oaxaca, cheddar or Monterey Jack, because they melt well but also hold their shape when cooked in a skillet or on a grill over an open flame. You’ll also want to buy chorizo for this recipe; chorizo comes in a variety of flavors, including spicy or sweet, so be sure to buy the one that best suits the flavor you want the dish to taste like.

  • 500g chorizo
  • 500g Oaxaca cheese (or mozzarella or Monterrey Jack cheese)

On the other hand, to garnish:

  • Raw salsa verde
  • Grilled salsa roja

Your Questions Answered Chorizo Taco: The Choriqueso Delight

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t your average tequila — it’s the real thing. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s highlands, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and created by bartenders who get it. Smooth, bold, and made to mix right.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

Any way you want. It’s a winner in a Margarita or Paloma, but it also shines straight up if you’re all about flavour. Whatever the moment, Altos always sets the tone.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Absolutely — we’re serious about sustainability. We recycle agave fibers, reuse water, and cut down on waste wherever we can. Great tequila, zero guilt.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s crisp and lively, Reposado’s smooth and rounded, and Añejo’s bold, rich, and full of depth. Three styles, one unmistakable Altos spirit.

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Of course. Altos steps up in any mix — Palomas, Tequila Sunrises, even an Old Fashioned if you’re in the mood to experiment. If it pours, Altos fits.
