Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low and add both Monterey Jack and Chihuahua cheese to the skillet with the chorizo. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Finely chop the jalapeño pepper and sprinkle it over the melted cheese. Add fresh cilantro for garnish.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the queso fundido hot with warm flour tortillas on the side for dipping.
