PREPARATION:

Prepare Onion-Chili Relish.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap tortillas in foil.

Remove and discard casing from chorizo. Heat medium skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce heat to medium. Crumble chorizo into skillet. Brown 6 to 8 minutes; stir to separate meat. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
Bake cheese 3 minutes. Place tortillas in oven; continue baking 4 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
Place tortillas in serving bowl; sprinkle chorizo evenly over cheese. To serve, spoon cheese mixture onto tortillas and top with relish; fold tortilla around filling. Garnish, if desired.
