CHORIZO QUESO DIP
When I couldn't figure out what to do with a roll of bulk chorizo sausage, this recipe was born. It may sound similar to other dip recipes, but don't let that fool you...the flavor of this dip definitely sets it apart from the rest. This also reheats well. Enjoy!

CHORIQUESO
YUMMY. I am from a border town in Texas, this is really simple. I can't think of any other way they serve cheese in Mexican restaurants. This is also good with avocado, salsa, and fajitas.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo sausage; cook and stir until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside. Place slices of cheese in a single layer to cover the bottom of the pan. It is okay if they overlap a little bit. When cheese melts, quickly pour into a nice casserole dish, or oven-proof bowl. Sprinkle the chorizo on top.
- Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is fully melted. Remove from the oven, stick a fork in it and load your tortilla.

CHORI-QUESO OR CHORIQUESO TACOS
This "chori-queso"... a delectable combo of chorizo and Mexican melting cheese... was coaxed out of the world's tallest Mexican through the judicial application of wine and liberally distributed compliments on his guacamole and salsa verde. I may have to up the ante on my plying to get the recipes for the aforementioned guac and salsa.

Steps:
- Fry the chorizo in oil until completely "browned" (good chorizo is red) and very crispy. (At this point, I'd drain the oil off of it -- although Alex says that "authentically" it should be left swimming in the pan.) Keep the chorizo on heat that's just high enough to keep it hot.
- Heat another pan over medium heat.
- When the pan is hot, place a corn tortilla in the bottom for about 15-30 seconds and then flip it and repeat this with the opposite side (15-30 seconds; then flip. This will help prevent sticking).
- Cut a reasonable piece of Mexican cheese and place on one half of the tortilla in the hot pan. When it starts to melt, spoon about a tablespoon of chorizo onto the melting cheese, fold the tortilla in half and immediately remove the taco from the heat.
- Stuff a little guacamole, salsa, queso blanco, sour cream or whatever you prefer in the tortilla to keep it company and immediately eat.
- These are good HOT -- so don't bother making a bunch ahead. This is the kind of food you cook for people standing around in the kitchen so they can eat it fresh.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the queso will be. Look for fresh, flavorful chorizo, a good quality cheese blend, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chorizo, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chorizo from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chorizo until it is browned and crispy: This will give the queso a nice smoky flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese blend: A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca will give the queso a smooth and creamy texture.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the queso is melted, you can add your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or jalapeños.
Conclusion:
Chorizo queso is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and customizable toppings, chorizo queso is sure to be a hit with everyone.
