Queso Fundido With Chorizo Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium. Working in batches, add chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a serving dish.
• Add onion and chiles to skillet; season with salt. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tequila, bring to a boil, and cook until tequila is mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
• Reduce heat to low, gradually stir in cheese, and cook, stirring constantly, just until melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a fondue pot and serve immediately, with chorizo and chips.

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix the jalapeño, cilantro, scallions and salt. Add the cheese and toss well.
• If serving as dip, skip to Step 4. If serving as sandwiches: drizzle slices of bread with oil and brown in a toaster oven. Top with chorizo, then the cheese mixture. Return to toaster oven and toast until bubbling.
• If serving as dip: heat the broiler. Combine the chorizo and cheese mixture and pour into a shallow baking or gratin dish. Broil until melted and bubbling, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve with the chips and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• For the chorizo pork sausage: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the pork, vinegars, paprika, garlic powder, guajillo powder, pepper, salt, cumin and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well using hands or a wooden spoon.
• Spread mixture over a baking pan and roast until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain excess fat.
• For the rajitas: Saute onions and minced garlic with vegetable oil in a skillet on medium-high heat until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cilantro, salt and thyme and continue to cook 2 minutes.
• For the escabeche: Combine vinegar, salt, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Place chile rings in a mixing bowl (remove seeds if desired to lessen heat). Pour boiling liquid over chiles and refrigerate until chilled, up to overnight.
• For the queso fundido: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Layer a 9-by-6-inch casserole dish with onion rajitas, 2 cups cooked chorizo pork sausage and cheeses. Place 4 to 6 pickled chiles on top.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a broiler and continue to cook until browned. Serve with corn tortilla chips or flour tortillas and extra pickled chiles!

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.
• Put half of the cheese in the baking dish and sprinkle with half of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining cheese and chorizo mixture. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve with flour tortillas for soft tacos.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos on a broiler pan and broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate and let steam until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Scrape off the charred skin with a paring knife and remove the stems and seeds; chop the peppers and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in an 8- or 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and poblanos and cook until the scallions are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring to coat, 1 minute.
• Add the lager and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheese, a handful at a time, stirring until melted before adding more. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until browned and bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place an 8 inch casserole in oven while preparing the fundido.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat until slightly smoking. Add onion, garlic and pepper and cook for one minute stirring constantly.
• Add chorizo and break up while coooking for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the casserole from oven. Spread the cheeses over hot bottom of dish. Return the dish to oven and bake until cheese is just melted, about five minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle chorizo mixture over top. Return to oven and heat for about three minutes.
• Serve with warmed tortillas.
