Preparation
Preheat oven to 425˚F.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil, a turn of the pan, add chorizo, then brown and crumble with half the onions and garlic, and remove to bowl. Add more oil, a turn of the pan, add jalapeño, remaining half of the onions and garlic, and season with salt, pepper and cumin, ⅓ palmful. Soften 3-4 minutes, add ½ cup water and let it reduce by half. Stir in refried beans and hot sauce, optional.
Line a baking sheet with foil and cut bread into 4 pizza planks or French bread shells. Toast a few minutes to crisp up a bit but do not brown. Top with refried beans, chorizo and cheeses, bake to brown and bubbly, about 12 minutes. Top with pickled peppers and cilantro, then dot with guacamole and/or pico de gallo, and sour cream or a squeeze of Mexican crema.
