CHORIQUESO
YUMMY. I am from a border town in Texas, this is really simple. I can't think of any other way they serve cheese in Mexican restaurants. This is also good with avocado, salsa, and fajitas.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo sausage; cook and stir until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside. Place slices of cheese in a single layer to cover the bottom of the pan. It is okay if they overlap a little bit. When cheese melts, quickly pour into a nice casserole dish, or oven-proof bowl. Sprinkle the chorizo on top.
- Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is fully melted. Remove from the oven, stick a fork in it and load your tortilla.

CREAMY QUESO WITH CHORIZO
In defense of Velveeta: Its texture is supreme in a queso recipe like this one. Chorizo boosts the savory, smoky flavor.

CHORI-QUESO OR CHORIQUESO TACOS
This "chori-queso"... a delectable combo of chorizo and Mexican melting cheese... was coaxed out of the world's tallest Mexican through the judicial application of wine and liberally distributed compliments on his guacamole and salsa verde. I may have to up the ante on my plying to get the recipes for the aforementioned guac and salsa.

Steps:
- Fry the chorizo in oil until completely "browned" (good chorizo is red) and very crispy. (At this point, I'd drain the oil off of it -- although Alex says that "authentically" it should be left swimming in the pan.) Keep the chorizo on heat that's just high enough to keep it hot.
- Heat another pan over medium heat.
- When the pan is hot, place a corn tortilla in the bottom for about 15-30 seconds and then flip it and repeat this with the opposite side (15-30 seconds; then flip. This will help prevent sticking).
- Cut a reasonable piece of Mexican cheese and place on one half of the tortilla in the hot pan. When it starts to melt, spoon about a tablespoon of chorizo onto the melting cheese, fold the tortilla in half and immediately remove the taco from the heat.
- Stuff a little guacamole, salsa, queso blanco, sour cream or whatever you prefer in the tortilla to keep it company and immediately eat.
- These are good HOT -- so don't bother making a bunch ahead. This is the kind of food you cook for people standing around in the kitchen so they can eat it fresh.

Tips:
- Choose the right chorizo: Mexican chorizo is the traditional choice for choriqueso, but you can also use Spanish chorizo or even Portuguese linguiça. Just be sure to choose a chorizo that is flavorful and has a good amount of fat.
- Cook the chorizo properly: The chorizo should be cooked until it is browned and crispy. This will help to release its flavor and make the choriqueso more flavorful.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the other main ingredient in choriqueso, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a popular choice, but you can also use Monterey Jack, queso Oaxaca, or even pepper Jack cheese.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making choriqueso. You can add other ingredients, such as diced tomatoes, green chilies, or jalapeños. You can also change up the type of cheese you use or the type of chorizo.
Conclusion:
Choriqueso is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or game days, and it can also be served as a main course. With its creamy, cheesy texture and its spicy, flavorful chorizo, choriqueso is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
