Queso Fundido
Queso fundido is a true cheese-lover's dream. Can you imagine anything more tempting than a skillet filled with bubbling hot cheese and spicy chorizo topped with fresh cilantro and green onions served with tortilla chips? I sure can't!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces chorizo
- 10 ounces queso quesadilla cheese shredded
- chopped fresh cilantro for serving OPTIONAL
- thinly sliced green onions for serving OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In an oven proof, heavy skillet, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat. Stir to break it apart as it cooks. Cooked chorizo will still appear a bit wet, but will be browned. Remove from the stove.
- Shred or crumble the cheese. Sprinkle the cheese over the meat in the pan and place in the oven. Bake for 6-10 minutes, until completely melted and bubbling.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and/or green onions before serving with tortilla chips.
Notes
If you have a difficult time finding queso quesadilla cheese in the grocery store, you might be able to find “quesadilla melting cheese” which comes already shredded in a bag. It's typically a blend of jack, chihuahua, and oaxaca cheeses. Either option will work fine here.
