Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pieces Chorizo sausages (casing removed)
  • 1 tbsp Pickled jalapeño (chopped)
  • 100 g Cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 100 g Monterey jack cheese (grated)
  • 50 g Mozzarella cheese (grated)
Garnishes
  • Pico de gallo (for garnish)
  • Extra chorizo (for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking the Chorizo
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until it’s fully cooked and browned. Remove excess grease if desired.
Combining Cheeses
  1. Lower the heat and reduce the chorizo to a gentle simmer. Add the grated cheddar, Monterey jack, and mozzarella cheeses along with the chopped pickled jalapeños. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and becomes creamy.
Serving
  1. Once fully melted and combined, transfer the queso fundido to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra chorizo and a dollop of pico de gallo on top.
Enjoying
  1. Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced vegetables, or warm tortillas for dipping!

Notes

For the best melt, use freshly grated cheese. You can customize the spice level by adding more chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.
