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 it is fully cooked and browned. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside.

2
Melt the Cheese
In a mixing bowl, combine Oaxaca cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until combined.

3
Combine Ingredients
In the same skillet used for the chorizo, lower the heat to medium-low. Add the cheese mixture to the skillet and stir in the cooked chorizo. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

4
Serve with Tortillas
While the cheese is melting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or directly over the flame for a few seconds on each side. Once the queso fundido is ready, transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeños. Serve immediately with the warm tortillas on the side.
