Method

Preparing the Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Cheeses

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine with Chorizo

    Add the cooked chorizo to the cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Cooking the Queso Fundido

  1. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Transfer the cheese and chorizo mixture to an oven-safe dish. Place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Preparing the Tortillas

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the cheese is melting, warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the queso fundido is melted and bubbly, remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños. Serve immediately with warm tortillas.
