Queso Fundido Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    If using chorizo, mushrooms, or poblano, prepare them by cooking the chorizo in a skillet until browned, and sautéing the mushrooms and poblano in olive oil until tender. Set them aside.

    In a medium saucepan, combine the Monterey Jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and milk over medium heat. Stir frequently until the cheese is melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Add Flavors

    Add the minced garlic, diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Optional Ingredients

    If using, add the cooked chorizo, sautéed mushrooms, or diced poblano to the cheese mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Pour the queso fundido into a serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips or warm tortillas.
