Heat a 9-inch skillet over medium heat and add pork chorizo, breaking it up and cooking for about 5 minutes until browned.

Add diced white onion and diced poblano pepper to the skillet and cook for another 7-10 minutes until soft.

Shred 1/2 pound of Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 pound of Oaxaca cheese, totaling 1 pound of cheese.

Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the skillet, stirring it in with the chorizo mixture.

If not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a casserole baking dish.

Broil the mixture in the oven, about 8 inches from the broiler, for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Garnish with diced roma tomatoes and cilantro before serving.
