1
Cook the Chorizo
In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
2
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Cotija cheese. Mix well until evenly combined.
3
Prepare Jalapeño
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Set aside.
4
Chop Cilantro
Rinse and chop fresh cilantro. Set aside for garnish.

5
Combine Ingredients
In the skillet with the cooked chorizo, lower the heat to medium-low. Add the mixed cheese and chopped jalapeño to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
6
Serve
Once the cheese mixture is fully melted and creamy, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro.
7
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side until they are soft and pliable.
8
Plate the Dish
Serve the melted queso fundido alongside the warm flour tortillas for dipping.
