Place the chopped onion and sliced olives in separate small bowls and mix each with 1/4 cup of vinegar. Set aside to marinate. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chorizo, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside.

Heat 1/4 cup of oil in the skillet and add the tortilla pieces, cooking and stirring over medium-low heat until they just start to turn crisp and golden at the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and drain the tortillas; pour 1 tablespoon of the oil into a saucepan.

Heat the saucepan over medium-low until hot but not smoking. Add the flour, then cook and stir until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the regular and hot tomato sauces, water, browned chorizo, cocoa powder, sugar, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, oregano, and taco seasoning. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in the diced chiles and tortillas. Simmer about 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the tortillas have softened and the mixture is thick.

Drain the onion and olives. Spoon a layer of the tortilla mixture evenly into a 2 quart baking dish or serving dish, then add a layer of about 2 tablespoons marinated onion, followed by a layer of 2 tablespoons olives, then a layer of 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat the layers two more times. Serve hot.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
