Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, gently breaking it up after a couple minutes. Allow it to bubble, stirring infrequently, until most of the bubbles have stopped and sausage is firm. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Place tomatoes into a bowl. Break into smaller pieces with the back of a fork, if desired.
Step 4
Divide dough into 16 small pieces, flattening each into a small circle. Place each circle on prepared baking sheet. Divide tomatoes and then the chorizo among the circles. Top with shredded Monterey Jack and crumbled cotija cheese.
Step 5
Bake in preheated oven until dough is golden brown and cheese has melted, 8 to 15 minutes. Check after 8 minutes to ensure chorizo is not burning.
Step 6
Top with minced cilantro leaves.
