Queso Fundido con Chorizo Directions
- Slowly heat a Mini Flat Mexican Cazuela over medium heat.
- Remove the casing on the chorizo (which unlike other types of sausages is inedible) and add it to the Cazuela.
- Sauté the chorizo for a couple of minutes until lightly browned, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 4 minutes.
- Add the onions, peppers, and garlic to the Cazuela, add salt and stir often until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove some of the mixture and set aside.
- Add the grated cheese and mix well to combine. Add the reserved mixture on the top and put the Cazuela in a preheated 425° F. oven until the cheese is bubbling, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Before serving, heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or Comal, remove the Cazuela from the oven, and serve with the tortillas.
