Preheat oven to 375F. Fill a heavy skillet with 1/2" corn oil. Heat it
until oil just starts to move. Then fry the tortillas, one at a time, until
light golden brown, about 15 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.
Slice chorizo into 1/4" thick rounds and saute them in a small skillet
until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and drain on
paper towel.
Place tortillas on baking sheet, and spread pesto evenly over them. Arrange
sausage over pesto and sprinkle with cheese. Top with chopped cilantro.
Bake until brown, 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cut each tortilla into
eight pieces. Serve immediately.
