By Niecer

Does it get better than a bowl of queso with chorizo and a hint of tequila? Chorizo Queso Fundido is the perfect appetizer, dish for a pot luck, or a great recipe for Cinco De Mayo!

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound chorizo, casings removed
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
• 1 tomato, seeded and diced
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup tequila or Mexican beer (optional)
• 1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the chorizo in a pan over medium heat, breaking it apart as you go, about 5-7 minutes. Add the onion, jalapeño and tomato and cook until the onions are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.

Add the tequila, deglaze the pan and cook until most of the moisture is gone, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle on the cheese and cook, stirring, until it melts, about 2-3 minutes.
