1
Prepare the Salsa
In a blender, combine the avocado, tomatillos, lime juice, and cilantro. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste and set aside.
2
Cook the Jalapeno
Finely chop the jalapeno pepper, removing seeds if less heat is desired. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and sauté the jalapeno until it softens, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Melt the Cheese
Reduce heat to low and add the Oaxaca cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.
5
Serve
Serve the queso fundido hot, alongside the avocado-tomatillo salsa and warm corn tortillas.
