Green Chile Queso Fundido with Chorizo
Instructions:
1. Cook the Chorizo:
In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked (5–7 minutes).
Use a spoon to break it up into crumbles.
Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside (leave some fat in the pan for flavor).
2. Sauté Onion (Optional):
If using onion, sauté it in the remaining fat until soft and translucent.
3. Add Green Chiles:
Stir in chopped green chiles and cook for 2–3 minutes to release flavor.
4. Layer the Cheese:
Lower the heat. Add half the cheese mixture, then layer the chorizo and remaining cheese on top.
Let it melt slowly on the stovetop or transfer to a 425°F (220°C) oven and bake for 10 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
5. Serve Immediately:
Garnish with extra green chiles or cilantro if desired.
Scoop with tortillas or chips while hot and melty!
💡 Tips:
Don’t overbake: just melt and brown the top.
You can use poblano peppers for a milder flavor.
Turn it into tacos or burritos by scooping it into warm tortillas.
Enjoy !!
