Queso Fundido
Queso Fundido is a hot and melty cheese dip combined with spicy Mexican chorizo and poblano peppers. You’re going to love this zesty appetizer!
Ingredients
8 ounces Mexican chorizo (beef or pork)
1 cup white onion, diced small
1 whole Poblano pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced small (about 1 cup)
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
8 ounces Oaxaca cheese, shredded
1 10-ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a cast iron skillet sprayed with a little kitchen pan spray over medium high heat, add chorizo and break up as you cook.
- After the beef has cooked and slightly browned, drain into a sieve and discard the fat. Then pour the cooked chorizo out onto paper towels to absorb any remaining grease.
- Spray a little more kitchen pan spray if needed in the skillet and add the diced white onion and diced poblano pepper and cook 4-5 minutes to soften.
- Add the cooked drained chorizo into the pan with the onion and peppers and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle on the jack and Oaxaca cheese and place into the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes just to melt the cheese. Do not leave in longer or the cheese will go from stringy to tough and hard. Ours was ready in five minutes.
- Garnish with the drained canned tomatoes and the fresh cilantro.
- Place a pot holder over the handle of the pan to remind guests that it is hot – then serve right out of the skillet with tortilla chips.
