Steps:
- Prepare the jalapeño poppers according to the package directions for the oven.
- Meanwhile, put the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and pour the rendered fat into a small heatproof liquid measuring cup. You should have about 1/4 cup chorizo oil; if not, top with enough olive oil to reach 1/4 cup. Reserve the skillet.
- Lay the bread slices on a cutting board and brush evenly with the chorizo oil on one side. Flip 6 slices over and top each with 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Divide the chorizo and jalapeño peppers evenly among the 6 slices and finish each with 3 more tablespoons of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 6 slices of bread, chorizo-oil-side up.
- Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Put 2 sandwiches in the skillet and press down with a large lid. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking, covered, until the cheese is melted and the second side is browned, about 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Use a sharp knife to slice each sandwich in half and serve.
Tips:
- To easily remove the jalapeno seeds, cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
- If you like spicy food, leave some of the seeds in the jalapenos. For a milder flavor, remove all of the seeds.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create different flavor combinations. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, and cream cheese.
- Add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or chopped vegetables.
- Use a thick, sturdy bread that will hold up to the filling. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or Texas toast.
- Butter the bread on both sides before grilling to ensure a golden brown and crispy crust.
- Grill the sandwich over medium heat until the cheese is melted and gooey and the bread is toasted to your liking.
- Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa.
