Queso Fundido image

No offense to salsa, but come on, who doesn't love a gooey, cheesy bean dip, bubbling hot like lava from the broiler? If you're a chile head, you'll probably want to up the number of chiles and leave the seeds in. If your friends are more, ahem, delicate, then stick with one chile and remove the seeds and ribs.

Yield Makes 12 servings (appetizer)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 links dried Spanish chorizo, (3 1/2 ounces) skin removed and finely chopped (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 fresh jalapeƱo or Serrano chile, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can refried pinto beans
3/4 cup water
8 ounces Manchego or Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated (2 1/4 cups)
Accompaniment:
Corn tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Cook chorizo in 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden and pieces start to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Cook onion, garlic, peppers, and paprika in fat remaining in skillet, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften and turn golden, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup water and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender and almost all liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in refried beans and remaining 1/2 cup water and simmer until slightly thickened and mixture is bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in reserved chorizo and half the cheese until melted.
  • Preheat broiler with rack about 6 inches from heat.
  • Pour bean mixture into a shallow (2-quart) flameproof crock or baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Broil 5 to 7 inches from heat until golden and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. I will probably reduce the amount of chili powder next time.
