In a small bowl, add the tomato, chile, cilantro, and oregano and mix. Season with salt and let stand for 30 minutes.

In a medium bowl, add the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, and toss with flour.
3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the chorizo breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it begins to render, 1 minute.

Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the chorizo is cooked through and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chorizo mixture to a small bowl and return the saucepan to the heat.
