Start by making chimichurri sauce in a blender with fresh oregano, cilantro, parsley, red wine vinegar (about 2 tablespoons), fresh garlic, and green onions.

Add lemon juice (without seeds), olive oil (about 4 tablespoons), and salt to the chimichurri mixture.

Include crushed red pepper for heat and blend until well mixed.

Prepare a simple salsa by combining chopped white onions, chopped tomatoes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice (the other half), and a touch of salt and crushed red pepper.

Toast the bread in the oven until crispy, ensuring it doesn't burn.

Grill the argentinian chorizo in a cast iron pan, splitting them and grilling face down first to get a nice crust, weighing them down with another pan.

Once the chorizo is browned and cooked through, chop it into smaller pieces for easier eating.

Spread mayonnaise on the toasted bread for creaminess.

Layer the chopped chorizo onto the bread, followed by chimichurri sauce and the prepared salsa.

Top with crumbled cotija cheese and serve.
