Ingredients

9 ounces beef or pork mexican chorizo
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
10 ounces oaxaca cheese grated (mexican melting cheese)
6 ounces pepper jack cheese grated
3/4 cup diced tomato
1 small jalapeno minced
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

How To Make queso fundido

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Cook the chorizo over medium heat; drain the fat off. Plate the cooked chorizo. Add oil to the same skillet and cook the onion over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute; stirring constantly. Plate the onions and garlic.
Step 3

Sprinkle half of the cheese in the bottom of a casserole dish or use the same skillet you cooked the chorizo and onion in if it is oven safe. Add the chorizo on top of the cheese reserving 2 tablespoons for the top. Top with the remaining cheese. Add the reserved cooked chorizo.
Step 4

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Over baking it can leave it hard on the top making it difficult to eat with chips or spoon on to tortillas.
Step 5

Garnish with tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips.
