QUESO FUNDIDO (HOT CHORIZO AND CHEESE DIP)
6 to 8 servings
We recommend using a combination of a stringy, melty type like Oaxaca cheese, and a sharp cheese like Cheddar.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cook in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned, 4 to 6 minutes:
- 4 ounces fresh chorizo, crumbled
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Have ready:
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 jalapeño peppers or ½ poblano, seeded and minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Place in a 9-inch pie dish or shallow baking dish:
- 3 cups grated Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Oaxaca, asadero, or Muenster cheese or a combination (12 ounces)
Top with the chorizo, green onions, jalapeños, and garlic and bake until bubbling and browned, about 10 minutes.
Serve warm with:
- Tortilla chips or warmed small flour tortillas
- Any salsa
