Cheese Mixture

Chorizo

Tortillas

Method

Preparing Chorizo

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

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

Cheese Mixture

  1. 2

    Combine the Cheeses

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until the cheeses are evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 3

    Bake the Queso Fundido

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, layer half of the cheese mixture, followed by the cooked chorizo. Top with the remaining cheese mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve and Garnish

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas.
