Categories     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces , queso quesadilla
1 poblano chile
1 small white onion
4 ounces tequila (optional)
8 ounces , fresh salsa mexicana
tortilla chips, for dipping

Steps:

  • Roast the poblano chile under a hot broiler, on a grill or on a hot comal. After the chiles skin has began to char, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Remove the stems, scrape out the seeds and peel off as much of the charred outer skin as possible. Discard the charred parts, seeds and stem. Chop up the poblano flesh and set it aside.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and begin to brown the sausage. As you brown it, break it up well, so there are no large chunks.
  • While the sausage is browning, peel the onion, discard the peel and cut off the stem portion and discard those as well.
  • When the sausage is done, drain off any excess liquid. Chop up the onion and then add the onion and chopped poblano to the cooking sausage and continue to cook the mixture until the onions and chiles soften. Turn the heat off briefly and pour in the tequila if you are using it. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. You want it to be a very dry texture.
  • Cut the queso quesadilla into small chunks.
  • In the bottom of the slow-cooker, add in a layer of cheese, top with the chorizo mixture and cover with remaining cheese. Mix it up a little and let it cook for about an hour or until the cheese is melted. You can either transfer it to a serving dish and drizzle salsa verde over it, or just serve it out of the slow-cooker if it needs to stay warmed, and have the salsa on the side.

On gameday, queso is an undisputed MVP but it often loses steam (and silkiness) by halftime. To combat the cooldown issue, this recipe calls for making the queso in a slow cooker, which you can keep plugged in to maintain cheesy, melty bliss through the final drive.

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:

  • Choose the Right Cheese: Opt for cheeses that melt well, such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a blend of Mexican cheeses.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly grated cheese, flavorful peppers, and aromatic spices make a world of difference in the final dish.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the queso fundido to prevent it from becoming rubbery or grainy. It should be melted and creamy, not solid.
  • Add-Ins and Variations: Experiment with different ingredients to create your unique queso fundido. Roasted poblanos, chorizo, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted tomatoes are great options.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the rich, gooey goodness of slow-cooker queso fundido, a dish that effortlessly blends melted cheese, zesty peppers, and aromatic spices.
