  • Oaxaca cheese
  • Manchego cheese

  • 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.

  • 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.
