Queso Fundido

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rib Eye

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced rib eye steak. Cook 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 the chopped onion and jalapeño. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked rib eye to the skillet and mix in the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the shredded Monterey Jack and Chihuahua cheeses, mixing until melted and creamy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the queso fundido to a serving dish. Top with chopped cilantro and serve hot with chicharrones and lime wedges on the side.
