Queso fundido will be your new favorite party appetizer - think melted cheese and spicy chorizo served with tortillas (or chips if you're feeding a lot of people).

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces uncooked chorizo sausage
  • 1 cup white onion
  • 1 serrano chile pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 cups Monterey Jack cheese
  • pico de gallo
  • 16 flours tortillas

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Brown chorizo in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, over medium, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. In the same skillet, add oil if needed and cook onion and chile pepper until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the chorizo and sprinkle with Chihuahua cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and bubbles, 8 to 10 minutes. If desired, broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until top is beginning to blister.

  6. 6

    Top with reserved chorizo and desired toppers. Serve with warm tortillas.
