Queso Fundido is a hot, melty cheese dip loaded with spicy chorizo and gooey, stringy cheese, served bubbling straight from the oven. It’s bold, smoky, and irresistibly delicious, perfect for dipping with warm tortillas or crispy chips!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Queso Fundido:

  • ½ lb Mexican chorizo, casings removed
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional, for spice)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 2 cups shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese (for that stretchy pull!)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar (for extra flavor)

For Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Diced tomatoes or pico de gallo
  • Sliced jalapeños (for extra heat!)

For Serving:

  • Warm flour or corn tortillas
  • Tortilla chips
  • Salsa or guacamole

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chorizo

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat.
  3. Add chorizo and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and crispy (5 minutes).
  4. Stir in onion and jalapeño, cooking until soft (2-3 minutes).
  5. Add garlic and cumin, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Melt the Cheese

  1. Turn off the heat and spread the cooked chorizo evenly in the skillet.
  2. Sprinkle shredded cheeses on top, covering the chorizo.

Step 3: Bake Until Bubbly

  1. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  2. For a golden, slightly crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

Step 4: Serve Immediately!

  1. Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños.
  2. Serve hot and melty with warm tortillas or tortilla chips.
  3. Enjoy by scooping the queso into tortillas or dipping chips straight in!

 

Notes

✔ Want it spicier? Add extra jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
✔ More flavor? Mix in smoked paprika or a splash of beer for depth.
✔ No chorizo? Use crumbled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or black beans.
✔ Make it ahead? Assemble everything, refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
