Chorizo sausage goes great on nachos. These nachos are great to serve for the Super Bowl. Tortilla chips are loaded with chorizo, a Monterey jack cheese sauce, cilantro and chives. The cheese sauce is a combination of Monterey jack cheese, white wine and lemon juice. If you would prefer you can make your own chorizo right at home to use for this recipe. Enjoy.
