1
Cook the Chorizo
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
2
Add Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
3
Prepare the Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese. Mix well to ensure even distribution of cheeses.

4
Combine Ingredients
In an oven-safe dish, layer the chorizo mixture evenly on the bottom. Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over the top of the chorizo.
5
Melt the Cheese
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the assembled dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6
Garnish and Serve
Once the queso fundido is out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeños (if using). Serve hot with warm tortillas for dipping.
