Choriqueso (Queso Fundido with Chorizo) image

I recommend one pound of a combination of shredded Mexican-style melty cheeses, such as queso Oaxaca, asadero or enchilado. Feel free to substitute with mozzarella and muenster. Photography by Jenna Sparks This post is in partnership with Kroger. As always, thank you for reading and for...

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 pound Mexican-style cheese, shredded
Flour or corn tortillas
Tortilla chips
Avocado slices, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over medium to high heat. While warming, add the chorizo and break it into chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook over medium heat, turning until cooked through and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a plate.
  • Drizzle olive oil and add the onions and bell peppers to the pan juices and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Return the chorizo to the skillet with the onions and bell peppers and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle cheese in the skillet.
  • Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve with flour or corn tortillas for soft tacos or with tortilla chips.
