Queso Fundido

There are literally hundreds of recipes for Queso AKA “melted cheese” and Fundido “with chorizo”.

Hardly any Carbs (except for the chips) we like a mixture of Cheddar, Mozzarella or Monterey Jack and cream cheese.

It’s not hard to imagine this being a campfire dish from Northern Mexico. If you have a medium cast-iron skillet to make this in even better.

Preheat oven to 350.
Cut jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove seeds, stem, and membrane with a spoon. Chop and set aside.
Chop green onions and set aside.
Removed casings from chorizo and scramble fry in a skillet. When the chorizo is almost cooked through add green onions and jalapeno. Sauté for 4 minutes.
It’s important to drain chorizo very well, so we sauté the sausage, onions and jalapeno then place it in a fine meshed sieve to drain while we prep the remaining ingredients.
Grate cheeses and toss together on a plate. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl blend cream cheese with a fork and add grated cheeses. Loosely blend and then add chorizo mixture.
Return Fundido to the cast-iron skillet or an oven proof dish. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Let rest a couple minutes before serving with taco chips and hot sauces if you wish.
