Cool, peel and dice.", "In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 T olive oil and when hot add the onions, cook, stirring constantly until golden. 8-10 minutes.", "Add the chorizo and cook, stirring and breaking up, for about 10 minutes until chorizo is cooked through.", "Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. *At this point, I drained & blotted away the excess chorizo oil.", "Add oregano, salt, cumin and potatoes. Stir constantly and brown potatoes (I'm not sure my potatoes browned but warm through at the least), for about 5-10 minutes.", "Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil.", "Separate your tortillas into 2 stacks> one will be the bottom and one will be the top to make a ""sandwich"".", "Divide the cheese into 2 portions. Spread 1/2 of cheese evenly over each tortilla. Top with the remaining tortilla to make a sandwich. Place on baking stone or baking sheet.
