Queso Fundido Ingredients

Method

Queso Fundido Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and chorizo, cooking until the chorizo is browned and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine and Melt

    Once the chorizo is cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the cheese mixture to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and creamy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the melted cheese to a serving dish. Top with chopped cilantro and jalapeños if using. Serve immediately with warm tortillas.
