Chorizo And Artichoke Heart Tostadas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb chorizo sausage, diced
1 roasted red pepper, diced (I use jarred)
8 -10 marinated artichoke hearts, drained and diced
4 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups grated cheese (I use a mexican blend)
2 scallions, sliced thinly (I've also used shallots, thinly sliced)
1 tomatoes, diced
fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
sour cream (optional)

Preparation

Heat a skillet, then add the chorizo and saute until browned.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet.
Divide the chorizo and artichoke hearts between the 4 tortillas.
Divide between the 4 tortillas: the garlic, the roasted red pepper, the cheese, and finally the scallions (or shallots).
Place them under a heated broiler and broil until the cheese melts and starts to sizzle.
Remove from broiler, and sprinkle with tomato and cilantro.
Dollop with sour cream if using, then serve hot.
