1
Cook the Chorizo
In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully cooked and browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the Monterey Jack cheese, Cotija cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until well mixed.

3
Combine and Melt
In the same skillet with the cooked chorizo, lower the heat to medium-low. Add the cheese mixture to the skillet, stirring frequently until the cheeses are melted and creamy, about 5 minutes.
4
Prepare Tortillas
While the cheese is melting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until pliable.

5
Serve
Transfer the queso fundido to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeño. Serve hot with warm corn tortillas for dipping.
