The name “Queso Fundido” translates to melted cheese, and that is literally what you’re going to get with this recipe. It doesn’t get any more unpretentious. What you have is a mixture of cheeses melted over a pan of cooked chorizo, onions, roasted poblano peppers and garlic, then topped with a quickly made salsa and diced avocado.
Tomato Jalapeño Cilantro Lime Salt
For the queso fundidio:
Mexican Chorizo - Try my homemade Mexican chorizo. So good! Or use your favorite brand. Onion Garlic Roasted Poblano Peppers - See how to roast poblano peppers for further directions. Mexican Cheeses - You can use chihuahua cheeses. Salt and Pepper
Cook the chorizo and onion. Next, heat your pan to medium high heat. A 10-inch pan is needed here, unless you’re making a larger batch. I used a cast iron skillet. Worked perfectly. Add the onions and Mexican chorizo and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the chorizo is cooked through and the onion is softened up. Garlic and roasted poblano peppers. Add the garlic and roasted poblanos. Stir and heat for about a minute, stirring. Swirl in the cheeses. Next, add the cheese in batches, stirring as you go. The cheeses will melt quickly into the pan and become delicious, ooey gooey queso fundido with delicious onions and peppers. PRO TIP: It’s going to start melting right away. Give it a little swirl. Let it melt nicely through. This is why you need a nice selection of melty cheeses. Think Asadero, Chihuahua, Monterrey Jack, even cheddar works nicely here. I like to use a blend. If there is too much oil on top for your preference, dab it with a paper towel to soak it up. Top with salsa: When the cheeses are nicely melted, top the batch with your homemade salsa and serve it up. Serve it nice and hot with crispy tortilla chips.
