Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 poblano chile peppers
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
1/2 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup lager
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos on a broiler pan and broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate and let steam until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Scrape off the charred skin with a paring knife and remove the stems and seeds; chop the peppers and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in an 8- or 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and poblanos and cook until the scallions are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring to coat, 1 minute.
  • Add the lager and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheese, a handful at a time, stirring until melted before adding more. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until browned and bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with chips.

Toss the cheeses with the flour in a separate bowl.

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO

There is a recipe where the cheese is melted directly on a griddle and then scooped onto a plate, another where it's baked in the oven or placed under the broiler. You can also make it in a small skillet right on top of the stove or on the grill where you make your steaks.

Categories     Antojitos

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
5 ounces Mexican Chorizo (casings removed.)
12 ounces Monterey or Oaxaca Cheese (grated (2 1/2 cups))
6 Flour tortillas (or)
12 ounces tortilla chips (for serving)
1 1/2 cup of Roasted Salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat, add the oil if using. Most Mexican chorizos have enough fat and won't need the vegetable oil. 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.
  • Place the chorizo in an oven proof dish, setting aside 2 tablespoons to garnish when ready to serve. I divided the chorizo and cheese into 2 small clay pots, but you can use a large oven proof dish.
  • 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.
  • Remove form oven and place over a heat proof surface. Serve warm with salsa and plenty of flour tortillas or tortilla chips.

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO



Queso Fundido with Chorizo image

We recommend D'Artagnan Spanish-style chorizo for this recipe. Made from heritage pork, it has great flavor and is widely available. If you don't have a fondue pot, you can serve the queso fundido in the skillet it is cooked in; return it to the stove and warm over low as needed. This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart's Appetizers.
