Queso Fundido
The ultimate comfort food!
INGREDIENTS:
5 ounces Mexican Chorizo, casings removed
12 ounces Monterey or Oaxaca Cheese, grated
Tia Lupita Peanuts Salsa Macha
Tia Lupita Cactus Tortilla Chips or
Tia Lupita Cactus Tortillas
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stir frequently to cook evenly and avoid it from sticking to the bottom. It’ll take about 6-7 minutes to cook. Once cooked, remove the excess fat from the skillet or place the cooked chorizo over a paper towel to absorb the fat.
2. Place the chorizo in an oven proof dish, setting aside 2 tablespoons to garnish when ready to serve. Place the grated cheese over the chorizo and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Do not overcook or it will have a chewy texture.
3. Remove from oven and place over a heat proof surface. Serve warm with Salsa Macha and plenty of Cactus Tortillas or Cactus Tortilla Chips.
