Notes

You can often find Oaxaca cheese with other Mexican options in the refrigerated section, typically near fresh Italian options like pasta, and near yogurt or other dairy products.

If you do not have or cannot find Oaxaca, simply use more Monterey Jack. Other great cheese options are pepperjack (which is Monterey Jack with some peppers in it) or even mozzarella. Anything stretchy that melts well is perfect.

Control the heat level by using your heat preference of both the chorizo and Hatch chile peppers.
