@cooking4two In 2021, during a trip to MX with Arturo’s family, they showed me this incredible melty cheesy dish. After that moment, I was determined to master the recipe. Surprisingly easy to make, I can’t wait for you to try it and share it with your family just in time for National Cheese Lover’s Day on Saturday. 🧀 ½ white onion diced 1 serrano pepper minced 1 roasted poblano pepper peeled and seeded 12 oz pork chorizo 12 oz queso Oaxaca shredded 8 oz pepper jack cheese grated tortillas or chips for dipping INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350℉.

NOTES Due to the amount of oil in the cheeses and chorizo, you will probably have to slim some off the top of the dish before serving. This is best served hot out of the oven. If you do not have a cast iron skillet. Cook everything in a regular pan and transfer over to a dish for baking. #CheeseLoversDay #QuesoFundito #cheese #cooking4two #appetizer #gamenight #sidedish #superbowlsnacks
