I have a lot of favorite things in life, but Queso Fundido is most definitely up at the top of that list. And I didn’t know it could get any better, but we just took it up another 20 notches by adding crispy chorizo. Yes to the yes. This here my friends is the easiest and most deliciously mouthwatering Queso Fundido con Chorizo you will ever have. Broiled cheese, onions, and peppers topped with crispy chorizo and rolled in a warm tortilla? HECK YESSSSS.
This is the perfect addition to any fiesta or Mexican themed party, hint hint: CINCO DE MAYO. However, keep in mind the cheese will start to harden within about 20 minutes, so I’d serve that baby up right away. It’s unbelievably good when rolled into warm flour tortillas, but also delicious served with tortilla chips as well. Would ya look at that melty goodness?
I sure hope you love this as much as I do!
