Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

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

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low, and add the Mexican cheese blend to the skillet. Stir the cheese into the chorizo until it starts to melt and becomes gooey.

Serving

  1. 3

    Transfer to Serving Dish

    Once the cheese is melted and well-combined with the chorizo, transfer the mixture to a warm serving dish.

  2. 4

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable. Serve alongside the queso fundido.

  3. 5

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, top the queso fundido with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños for added flavor and freshness.
