QUESO FUNDIDO RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, crumbling it as you go, until browned and cooked through. 
• Remove the chorizo from the skillet and drain it on paper towels (chorizo is very greasy!). Pour off any excess fat from the skillet. 
• Without cleaning the skillet, add the onion and bell peppers. 
• Cook the veggies over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until they brown and soften, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the tequila, if using. Turn the heat back on to medium-high and cook until the vegetables are golden brown and the liquor has reduced, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside. Turn off the heat. 
• Mix the cheeses together, then cover the bottom of a medium ovenproof skillet with one-third of the cheese mixture . . . 
• Add one-third of the vegetables . . . 
• And one-third of the chorizo. 
• Continue with two more layers, ending with chorizo. Sprinkle the top with chili powder. 
• Bake until the cheese is totally melted, hot, and slightly bubbling around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch it constantly, as you don't want the cheese to get overly melted and hard. But you want it to be sizzling! 
• Top with the tomatoes, a sprinkle of kosher salt, and the cilantro. 
• Serve immediately with tortilla chips . . . 
• Or carrot sticks and cauliflower florets if you want to avoid chips! 

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Crumble chorizo into a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet; add corn, red onion and pepper. Cook over medium heat until meat is fully cooked, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in the cheeses., Bake until bubbly, 14-16 minutes. Sprinkle with tomato and green onions. Serve with chips.
