2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
Kosher salt
1 pound bulk chorizo

Combine the cornbread, chiles and sausage mixture in a large bowl. Add 3 cups chicken stock and toss with your hands until the bread is very moist, adding up to 1 more cup stock if needed. Season with salt. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and bake until the stuffing is hot throughout and golden brown on top, 30 to 35 minutes.
