Best Mexican Fondue With Chorizo And Chiles Recipes

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.

Ingredients

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.

MEXICAN QUESO FUNDIDO OR MEXICAN FONDUE

Mexican Queso Fundido or Mexican Fondue image

We have probably all had those melted cheese dips that are so popular in Mexican restaurants. This is a much more authentic version yet still simple and yummy. This makes a complete meal that is tasty and FUN! Soyrizo is the Soy based vegetarian version of chorizo. If you have an aversion to cooking with beer you can use some broth in place of the beer. The beer really does impart a special flavor that is unmatched. You could probably use a non-alcoholic beer as well. You could also su the canned chilies and fresh tomatoes with a can of Rotel undrained.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup beer, anything but dark beer
1/2 lb oaxaca cheese, grated or 1/2 lb mozzarella cheese
1 lb asadero cheese or 1 lb muenster cheese, grated
4 ounces green chilies, chopped (you can find these in a can- for authentic Mexican use poblano's- you can get these canned too)
1/4 lb chorizo sausage (optional) or 1/4 lb soy chorizo (optional)
1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

If using sausage: Cook sausage to release as much grease and oil as Drain well on paper towels and crumble or chop sausage. We like to grill the sausage outside and let the grease drip off. Plus you get rewarded with a smokiness!
Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl or the removable crock of a small crock pot, heat beer for about 2 minutes or just to a simmer. Add half the cheese, stir well and microwave 1 minute. Add the rest of the cheese and microwave again until everything has melted completely. Stirring and checking at one minute intervals, of half minute if you have a powerful microwave.
Add remaining ingredients, including chorizo if using, and return again to microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring after each minute.
Serve with chips , tortillas, bread or veggies for dipping.
