Queso Fundido image

This ooey, gooey cheese dip gets a little kick from the addition of fresh jalapeño pepper and chorizo sausage. Serve the dip hot with soft tortillas, or tortilla chips, depending on your mood.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 ounces chorizo, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 to 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
1/2 pound Oaxacan cheese, mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese, diced small
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Corn or flour tortillas, for serving

Steps:

In a medium skillet or a flame-proof gratin dish over moderate-high heat, cook chorizo until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving any rendered fat in pan.
Stir in olive oil and jalapeño. Cook for 1 minute. Add cheese, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and chorizo and serve hot from pan with tortillas for scooping up mixture.
