Time 30m

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces Mexican chorizo
1 small onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/4 cup tequila (optional)
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated
8 ounces white Cheddar cheese, grated
Chili powder
2 Roma tomatoes, finely diced
Kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving
Carrot sticks and cauliflower florets, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, crumbling it as you go, until browned and cooked through.
  • Remove the chorizo from the skillet and drain it on paper towels (chorizo is very greasy!). Pour off any excess fat from the skillet.
  • Without cleaning the skillet, add the onion and bell peppers.
  • Cook the veggies over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until they brown and soften, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the tequila, if using. Turn the heat back on to medium-high and cook until the vegetables are golden brown and the liquor has reduced, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside. Turn off the heat.
  • Mix the cheeses together, then cover the bottom of a medium ovenproof skillet with one-third of the cheese mixture . . .
  • Add one-third of the vegetables . . .
  • And one-third of the chorizo.
  • Continue with two more layers, ending with chorizo. Sprinkle the top with chili powder.
  • Bake until the cheese is totally melted, hot, and slightly bubbling around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch it constantly, as you don't want the cheese to get overly melted and hard. But you want it to be sizzling!
  • Top with the tomatoes, a sprinkle of kosher salt, and the cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with tortilla chips . . .
  • Or carrot sticks and cauliflower florets if you want to avoid chips!

LOADED QUESO



Loaded Queso image

You'll never have to decide between queso, guacamole or salsa again. This epic trio dip is inspired by the queso at Torchy's Tacos in Houston, Texas. A classic green chile queso gets topped with fresh guacamole and just the right amount of heat with a homemade diablo sauce. Use a cast-iron skillet to keep the queso warm longer, although it probably won't last that long with a crowd!

1 pound processed cheese block, diced, such as Velveeta
One 4-ounce can diced mild green chiles
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Kosher salt
1 small ripe Hass avocado, deseeded and scooped
1/2 small jalapeno, seeded and minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1/4 small red onion, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for serving

Steps:

TRADITIONAL QUESO FUNDIDO



Traditional Queso Fundido image

Easy appetizer or even light meal. Melted chihuahua cheese over fresh pico de gallo. Can buy fresh salsa or pico de gallo from deli. I prefer to put in warm torillas or can be served with tortilla chips. Meant to be eaten right out of the oven or shortly after, cheese will firm up if left out too long. Soooo Good!!

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO RECIPE BY TASTY



Queso Fundido With Chorizo Recipe by Tasty image

Queso fundido is a tasty comfort food that originated in northern Mexico as a campfire dish of chorizo, tomatoes, onions, and poblano peppers in a pool of gooey, stringy, melted cheese. The dish is often prepared tableside in restaurants, where it is flambéed and presented bubbling hot in small casserole dishes as an appetizer. In this version, chorizo is sautéed until crisp and golden, then combined with queso Oaxaca for a simple, yet no less delicious, snack. Spoon the queso onto soft tortillas and serve individually, or set the pot between a group of people and dig in.

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ lb ground chorizo
5 flour tortillas, 6 in (15 cm)
6 oz Oaxaca queso
kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Crumble the chorizo into a large pan over high heat and cook until the fat has rendered and the chorizo caramelized and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and arrange the tortillas on top of the chorizo to warm.
  • Meanwhile, tear the cheese by hand into a small baking dish. Season the cheese with salt, if needed. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with the chorizo.
  • Serve the queso fundido with the warmed tortillas.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, a substance that can prevent the cheese from melting smoothly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much cheese to the pan at once, it will not melt evenly and will become clumpy.
  • Stir the cheese constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning and will also help it to melt evenly.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Queso fundido is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Some popular toppings include chorizo, ground beef, black beans, corn, and jalapeños.
  • Serve immediately. Queso fundido is best enjoyed hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Queso fundido is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or gatherings, and it can also be enjoyed as a meal on its own. With its rich, cheesy flavor and customizable toppings, queso fundido is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
