2 (9 ounce) packages ground pork chorizo
30 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, sliced
1/2 cup guacamole
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Line a jelly roll pan or large cake pan with parchment paper.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; place in the refrigerator.
3
Stack 5 tortillas. Slice off rounded edges to create large triangles. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4
Place 3 to 5 tortilla triangles in a large bowl. Drizzle some olive oil on top; rub over the triangles with your fingers. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining triangles and olive oil, arranging 6 triangles per baking sheet.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven; flip with tongs. Continue baking until second side is golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining triangles.
6
Layer baked triangles, chorizo, Cheddar cheese, and jalapeno slices in the prepared jelly roll pan.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with guacamole, sour cream, cotija cheese, cilantro, and green onions.
