QUESO FUNDIDO CON CHORIZO

Ingredients:

• 1 onion (optional)

• 1 chorizo (casing removed)

• 12 oz shredded Oaxaca cheese or substitute*

• tortillas or tortilla chips

• salsa

 *while usually made with Manchego or Chihuahua cheeses, Oaxaca or Buffalo mozzarella are both great substitutes.

To Prepare: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Fry chorizo meat and onion until cooked.

Place half the chorizo meat in an oven safe dish. Cover in grated cheese and bake for 10 – 12 minutes (until bubbling).

Place remaining chorizo on top and serve with tortillas or tortilla chips and salsa.

In lieu of baking in the oven, you could place all ingredients into a cast iron pan and heat on the barbeque or on the stove top until bubbling.
