Mexican-Inspired Queso Fundido

Mexican-Inspired Queso Fundido
Queso Fundido, or melted cheese, is a fantastic Mexican-inspired dish made with delicious ingredients like chorizo and lots of cheese. Traditionally, you would use cheeses like Asadero, Manchego, or Mennonite, but since those are hard to find in our country, we used Cheddar and Gouda, which are more readily available. This dish can be served with tortillas, tortilla chips, or, in our case, toasted local bread. It's a great appetizer or snack that you can easily master in no time.

METHOD

  • bread (optional)

    Cut the Žito nogometni kruh (or other local bread) into thin slices. Cut the large slices into three parts. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with fajita seasoning. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 210 °C / 410 °F.

  • prepare the meat and vegetables

    Place a pan over medium heat. Add the oil and chopped chorizo. Using a spoon, crush large parts of the chorizo to get a ground meat texture. Sauté for 6 - 8 minutes to become golden-brown. Finely dice the onion and bell peppers and add to the meat. Stir and cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Add the canned (rinsed and drained) corn, stir, and cook for a minute.

  • QUESO FUNDIDO

    In a bowl, combine shredded Gauda, shredded Cheddar, and cornstarch. Spread the cheese all over the meat and veggies. Cover with a lid and cook for 6 - 8 over low heat for the cheese to melt. Serve with the toasted bread or tortilla chips.
