Method

Preparation of Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese

    In a large bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until evenly blended.

  3. 3

    Add Jalapeños

    Finely chop the jalapeño peppers and add them to the cheese mixture. Stir until incorporated.

  4. 4

    Combine with Chorizo

    Fold the cooked chorizo into the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.

Cooking the Queso Fundido

  1. 5

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Transfer the cheese and chorizo mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 8

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the queso fundido is baking, warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over low heat or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Once the queso fundido is ready, remove it from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Enjoy with the warm tortillas.
