- Grease a large cast iron pan (affiliate) with cooking spray then lay down a layer of tortilla chips. Cover chips with a generous portion of cheese. Spoon over half of your chorizo. Top with peppers, onions, and olives. Add another sprinkle of cheese, then another layer of chips. Repeat layer again with more cheese, then chorizo, peppers, onions and olives. Top with remaining cheese, spreading all the way to the edge.
