Queso Fundido

Ingredients

  • 8 oz chorizo
  • 1 bell pepper (finely diced)
  • 2 poblano peppers (finely diced)
  • 2 jalapeno peppers (finely diced)
  • 5-7 green onions (sliced)
  • 12 oz shredded Mexican blend cheese (or Monterey + Sharp Cheddar - see notes)
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

Recipe

  • Cook all peppers, the white parts of the onions and chorizo in a cast iron skillet, for 6-8 minutes.
  • Take off the heat, and let cool. Mix in shredded cheese, cream cheese & sour cream.
  • Cook under the broiler on high for ~5 minutes, then top with green parts of the onions as garnish.

Notes

  • Rare recipe where I’d recommend using block cheese if easy - it should mildly improve the texture due to lack of corn starch, and since this recipe is very cheese dominant.
  • If you’d like to prep this in advance, you may pause before the broiler step to cover the dish and either put aside for a few hours, or refrigerate for upto 24 hours.
