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

  • Top with minced cilantro leaves.
