Notes
You can get Queso Oaxacan and Chorizo at just about any grocery store specializing in Mexican. Whole Foods also sells both items if you do not have a Mexican grocery close by.
If spicy chorizo is not available spicy Italian can be substituted. If spice is not your thing, any other sausage can be substituted. Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo is a good vegetarian alternative as well.
