Queso Flameado

Fajita Chicken or Beef

Method

Prepare Queso Flameado

  1. 1

    Cook Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add chopped red bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Cheeses

    In a medium bowl, combine Chihuahua cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix in the sautéed vegetables and cooked chorizo.

  4. 4

    Melt Cheese

    Transfer the cheese mixture to a baking dish and broil in the oven until melted and bubbly, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once melted, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Prepare Fajita Chicken or Beef

  1. 6

    Marinate Protein

    If using chicken, slice the chicken breast into strips. For beef, slice the flank steak against the grain. In a bowl, combine the protein with fajita seasoning, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 7

    Cook Fajitas

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil and cook the marinated chicken or beef until fully cooked and browned, about 6-8 minutes for chicken and 4-6 minutes for beef.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Once cooked, serve alongside the Queso Flameado as a topping or on the side.
