Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is fully cooked and browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Mix in Green Chiles

    Add the Hatch green chiles to the skillet with the cooked chorizo. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chiles are heated through.

  3. 3

    Combine Cheeses

    In a large bowl, mix the Monterey Jack cheese and Queso Blanco cheese together until evenly combined.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In an oven-safe dish, combine the cooked chorizo and green chile mixture with the cheese blend. Mix in the lime juice and salt, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

  2. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the oven-safe dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Tortillas

    While the queso fundido is baking, warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are soft and pliable.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the queso fundido is bubbly and golden, remove it from the oven. Serve hot with the warm flour tortillas on the side for dipping.
