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
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
Add Toppings
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper and sprinkle it over the melted cheese. Add fresh cilantro for garnish.
4
Serve
Serve the queso fundido hot with warm flour tortillas on the side for dipping.
