QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO
There is a recipe where the cheese is melted directly on a griddle and then scooped onto a plate, another where it's baked in the oven or placed under the broiler. You can also make it in a small skillet right on top of the stove or on the grill where you make your steaks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat, add the oil if using. Most Mexican chorizos have enough fat and won't need the vegetable oil. Add the chorizo and cook, stir frequently to cook evenly and avoid it from sticking to the bottom. It'll take about 6-7 minutes to cook.
- Once cooked, remove the excess fat from the skillet or place the cooked chorizo over a paper towel to absorb the fat.
- Place the chorizo in an oven proof dish, setting aside 2 tablespoons to garnish when ready to serve. I divided the chorizo and cheese into 2 small clay pots, but you can use a large oven proof dish.
- Place the grated cheese over the chorizo and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Do not overcook or it will have a chewy texture.
- Remove form oven and place over a heat proof surface. Serve warm with salsa and plenty of flour tortillas or tortilla chips.

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO
We recommend D'Artagnan Spanish-style chorizo for this recipe. Made from heritage pork, it has great flavor and is widely available. If you don't have a fondue pot, you can serve the queso fundido in the skillet it is cooked in; return it to the stove and warm over low as needed. This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart's Appetizers.

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO RECIPE BY TASTY
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.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients are key to making a great queso fundido. Use fresh chorizo, cheese, and vegetables for the best flavor.

- Don't Overcook the Chorizo: Chorizo is already cooked, so it's important not to overcook it when making queso fundido. Simply cook it until it's heated through.
- Serve Queso Fundido with Tortilla Chips: Queso fundido is traditionally served with tortilla chips for dipping. You can also serve it with other accompaniments, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
