Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for oiling the baking dish
6 ounces chorizo or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 cups grated Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
6 flour tortillas or soft tacos, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Oil a 3 or 4 cup ovenproof baking dish.
  • In a dry medium skillet, saute the chorizo over medium-high heat until almost crisp. Remove the chorizo to a plate. Add the onions and garlic to the pan juices and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Return the chorizo to the skillet with the onions and garlic and stir to combine.

JALAPENO QUESO FUNDIDO



Jalapeno Queso Fundido image

Cheese stars in this spicy, beer-blasted dip, and grating your own makes all the difference. Pre-shredded cheeses have a coating on the strands that prevent the complete and luscious melting achieved with freshly grated cheese. This dish is best served hot and fresh (not reheated), so wait until your guests have all arrived before popping it under the broiler.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Canola oil
Zest of 1 lime
3/4 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas, each cut into 6 wedges
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
1 plum tomato, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup Mexican lager-style beer (such as Corona)
12 ounces muenster or Monterey Jack, grated (about 3 1/2 cups)
4 ounces sharp white Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the lime zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt together. Working in batches, fry the tortilla wedges until golden and crisp, about 1 minute, and transfer them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle the chips with the lime salt while they are still hot. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, jalapeno and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions just start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the beer and cook until all the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Toss the muenster and Cheddar together and add them to the skillet. Stir once or twice to combine.
  • When ready to serve, preheat the broiler. Place the skillet under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot with the chips.
