Cheese

Chorizo

Tortillas

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    In a large oven-safe dish, combine the cooked chorizo and both types of cheese. Stir well to mix.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bake the Queso Fundido

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cheese and chorizo mixture in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    While the queso fundido is baking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the queso fundido is bubbling, remove it from the oven. Optionally, top with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and sliced jalapeños. Serve immediately with warmed corn tortillas for dipping.
