Method

Prepare Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese, Oaxaca cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green chilies, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Transfer the cheese mixture to a suitable oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake Cheese

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Bake

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Prepare Tortillas

  1. 5

    Heat Tortillas

    While the cheese is baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn tortillas, one at a time, and cook for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and slightly crispy.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 6

    Garnish

    Once the queso fundido is done baking, remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.

  2. 7

    Serve the melted cheese hot with the warmed tortillas on the side for dipping.
