Cheese

Chorizo

Tortillas and Garnishes

Method

Prepare the 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's browned and cooked through.

Prepare the Cheese

  1. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low and add the Chihuahua, Monterey Jack, and Oaxaca cheeses into the skillet with the cooked chorizo. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and gooey, about 3-5 minutes.

Serve

  1. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or on a grill for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 4

    Plate the Queso Fundido

    Transfer the melted cheese and chorizo mixture to a serving dish. Top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and diced jalapeños if desired. Serve immediately with the warm corn tortillas.
