Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), and garlic cloves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Cheese

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for the chorizo, add the chopped onion, jalapeño, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked chorizo back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the cheese mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and creamy.

  3. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Add cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Adjust the seasonings to taste and continue cooking until everything is well incorporated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Queso Fundido
