Notes
- Queso Fundido with Chorizo
- You will need 8 ounces of Mexican chorizo. Skip the butter and use the chorizo drippings. If you don't have enough drippings then add enough butter to have about 1 tablespoon total.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use an oven-safe skillet or a sauce pan. You can always pour the queso into a baking dish before baking/broiling.
- Heat a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Mexican chorizo and cook until crumbly and crispy. Remove about 1/4 cup of the chorizo to use as topping then, drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat rendered.
- Add flour to the skillet and cook for about a minute stirring constantly.
- Whisk in the milk and cook for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened,
- Remove from the heat and immediately add the shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. Mix and season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped roasted jalapenos.
- Crumble the goat cheese on top and mix it gently. Don’t over mix. Top with the remaining chorizo.
- Bake or broil until the top is golden brown. Garnish with chopped cilantro (or parsley) and serve.
