Optional Toppings

Method

Preparing the Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    In a medium saucepan, combine Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the cheese is melted, stir in the cooked chorizo. Mix well until combined and heated through.

Preparing the Tortillas

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve Queso Fundido

    Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, and diced tomatoes if desired. Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas on the side.
