BEST KIND OF CHEESE TO MAKE QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO

  • Chihuahua cheese
  • Oaxaca cheese
  • Manchego cheese
  • Mozarella
  • Quesadilla

Chorizo USED FOR THE FLAMMED CHEESE RECIPE

The chorizo ​​we use is the Mexican pork chorizo. You can use turkey chorizo if you are on a diet or want to save calories. Most important thing here is that you do not confuse chorizo ​​with sausage or sausage.

The Mexican chorizo ​​is a mix of pork meat, vinegar, seasoned with chili and spices. It has a smoky, sour and slightly spicy flavor.

My children love it when I prepare this recipe for flamed cheese or choriqueso, as they know it in certain states of Mexico. My kids make quesadillas or eat them with totopos (chips) for lunch.

TIPS FOR PREPARING AND SERVING queso fundido

  • Serve the queso flameado immediately, because if it is cooled and overheated, it changes consistency, the cheese dries up.
  • Chopped tomato and onion are optional but adding them to the queso flameado it’s delicious.
  • Swap the pork chorizo ​​for a turkey chorizo ​​for a lower calorie recipe.
  • I like to prepare it when we make carne asada (barbeque) or have guests, this melted cheese is always a success.
  • Serve with flour or corn tortilla chips.
