Queso Fundido with Chorizo and Jalapeno


I couldn't decide between two appetizers for our Cinco de Mayo Meal. This ooey gooey cheesy cast iron pan filled with delicious goodness was a hit! It's so very simple to prepare and you can make as much or as little as you need for your number of guests.

8 oz. Mexican Chorizo 
A blend of the following shredded cheeses:  Mozzarella, Monterrey Jack and Oaxaca
diced jalapenos
chopped cilantro for garnishing

In a medium skillet, brown chorizo until cooked through. Remove chorizo from skillet and drain on a paper towel lined plate.  Set aside.  It will take about 5 - 6 minutes to cook the chorizo.

Finely shred your choice of cheeses and place on a cast iron fajita pan as shown above or in an ovenproof safe dish. You can make individual servings or a community bowl!

Place under a broiler for 3 - 4 minutes until cheese has melted and begins to brown. Remove from oven and divide the browned chorizo on the individual servings or spoon on top of the browned cheese in the casserole dish.

Garnish with diced jalapenos and cilantro if desired.  Serve with flour tortillas or corn tortilla chips
