Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the house-made chorizo. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Mexican white melting cheese and allow it to melt slowly. Stir frequently to ensure even melting.

  3. 3

    Combine Chorizo and Cheese

    Once the cheese is melted, fold in the cooked chorizo. If using jalapeño, add it at this stage for extra heat.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Once combined, sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the queso flameado to a serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
