Mexican Melted Cheese Dip
Queso Fundido is Mexico’s version of cheese fondue. This one is loaded with smoky, brick red GOYA® Chorizo and speckled with fiery GOYA® Jalapeño Peppers. Spoon the piping hot cheese dip into warm corn tortillas for a traditional, delicious appetizer that will be on the table in 20 minutes, flat!
Ingredients
½ cup
finely chopped onion (about ½ medium onion)
1 pkg. (3.5 oz.)
GOYA® Chorizo, finely chopped
1
GOYA® Jalapeño Peppers, finely chopped (about 1 tbsp.)
2 tsp.
GOYA® Minced Garlic
2 tbsp.
GOYA® Salsita Chipotle Chile
2 pkgs.
Nela® Cheddar Cheese, or 1 lb. shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
1 pkg. (10 oz.)
GOYA® Corn Tortillas, warmed
Directions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo; cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add jalapeño pepper and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in chipotle sauce; remove from heat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, fill 9”x13” glass baking dish halfway with water. Place 8”x8” glass baking dish inside to create a bain marie. Place shredded cheese in smaller dish. Top cheese with chorizo mixture; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Step 3
Bake until cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serve hot, with warm tortillas.
Evenly Melted Cheese
For cheese that’s smooth and gooey (not burnt or oily), we bake the Queso Fundido in a make-shift bain marie. This way, the water diffuses the direct heat of the oven, helping the cheese melt softly and evenly. If you want the same results without turning on your oven, simply cook the cheese in a stove-top double boiler. To do, fill a medium pot with 3” of water, simmer and set a heat-proof bowl on top (making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.) Then, stir in the cheese and the cooked chorizo mixture, and heat until melted.
