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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Rub the poblano and jalapeno chiles with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan and roast, turning a few times, until golden brown and blistered all over, about 15 minutes for the jalapeno and 25 minutes for the poblanos. Remove to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds and dice or slice.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the flour and whisk until smooth and the raw flour taste has cooked out, about 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the hot milk, then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and the chile de arbol.
- Reduce the heat to low and begin adding the cheese a handful at a time, whisking until smooth. Taste for seasoning and fold in some of the diced chiles. Pour into a fondue pot.
- Mix the remaining diced chiles with the Pickled Red Onions and cilantro and top the queso with the mixture. Serve with tortilla chips, tortillas or radishes.
- Saute the onions in 1 tablespoon oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat until soft.
- Meanwhile, place the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, thyme sprigs and 1/4 cup oil in a noncorrosive saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the onions to the hot liquid and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the onions to steep for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. (If steeping overnight, transfer to a bowl and cover.) When ready to serve, drain the liquid and top with chopped thyme.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the tomato, serrano chile and cilantro. Season with salt and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, while you prepare the queso.
- In a medium bowl, toss the grated cheeses with the flour. Reserve.
- Add the olive oil to a medium-sized skillet and bring it to the stove over medium heat. Cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Then, add the onions and continue cooklng until the chorizo is fully cooked and the onions are soft and translucent. Remove (with a slotted spoon) from the skillet into a separate bowl.
- In a medium cast iron pan, over medium heat, add the beer and let it simmer. When simmering, start to add the cheese, slowly. Whisk constantly and only add the next handful of cheese once the previous one has melted.
- Once all the cheese has melted and is smooth, stir back in the chorizo/onion mixture.
- Optional: For a bubblier version with some delicious browned spots, simply pop the queso into the (preheated) broil for about 5 minutes. Check often to prevent the cheese from overcooking.
- Using a slotted spoon, spoon the salsa over the queso.
- Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or with soft tortillas.
