Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  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 fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese

    While the chorizo is cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the Monterey Jack cheese with half of the diced tomatoes and half of the chopped green onions. Mix well until evenly distributed.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    In an oven-safe dish, spread the cooked chorizo evenly across the bottom. Then, pour the cheese mixture over the chorizo, covering it completely.

  2. 4

    Bake the Queso Fundido

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Garnish

    Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining diced tomatoes and chopped green onions over the top for a fresh garnish.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the queso fundido hot with a bag of tortilla chips for dipping.
