CHORIZO CON QUESO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until transparent, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Melt butter in saucepan over medium-high heat until sizzling. Stir in flour and whisk until a paste forms, about 5 minutes. Whisk in milk and continue to cook, whisking, until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the chorizo mixture, shredded cheese, and green chiles. Continue stirring until smooth and thick.
• Transfer mixture into a shallow baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.

CHORIZO QUESO DIP

QUESO FUNDIDO CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• Cook the chorizo, stirring, in a medium skillet or a flameproof gratin dish over medium-high heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and pour off any excess rendered fat, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. If there is less than 1 tablespoon, add enough olive oil to make 1 tablespoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the flour is golden, 1 minute. Pour in the beer and bring to a boil. Stir in the chopped jalapenos and pickling juice and cook 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk, whisking, and bring to a gentle boil until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheeses and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese fully melts, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved chorizo. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the cilantro and serve warm with dippers.

CHORI-QUESO - QUESO CON CHORIZO -

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300ºF. Remove the chorizo's case and heat it in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, for about 6 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat and spoon off most of the fat. Slice cheese into 1-inch cubes and place half in a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Top with half the chorizo, the green peppers and remaining cheese. Top with remaining chorizo.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until creamy and bubbly. Remove from oven.
• Top mixture with green onions and cilantro.
• Serve immediately using a spoon to serve on the tortillas. Mmmm -- delicious.

CHORIZO QUESO

Steps:

• Place the chorizo in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until a significant amount of fat is released, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the flour and cream to the chorizo and whisk. Let simmer and continue to whisk, until thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the red peppers and black beans and stir to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. ([Disclaimer:] When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for five minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.) Return it to the saucepan, add both cheeses and cook over low heat, stirring until the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
• Transfer the queso to a heatproof serving bowl. Top it with the onion, pickles, avocado, and jalapenos. Garnish with the cilantro and serve warm with tortilla chips or potato chips.

CHORI-QUESO OR CHORIQUESO TACOS

Steps:

• Fry the chorizo in oil until completely "browned" (good chorizo is red) and very crispy. (At this point, I'd drain the oil off of it -- although Alex says that "authentically" it should be left swimming in the pan.) Keep the chorizo on heat that's just high enough to keep it hot.
• Heat another pan over medium heat.
• When the pan is hot, place a corn tortilla in the bottom for about 15-30 seconds and then flip it and repeat this with the opposite side (15-30 seconds; then flip. This will help prevent sticking).
• Cut a reasonable piece of Mexican cheese and place on one half of the tortilla in the hot pan. When it starts to melt, spoon about a tablespoon of chorizo onto the melting cheese, fold the tortilla in half and immediately remove the taco from the heat.
• Stuff a little guacamole, salsa, queso blanco, sour cream or whatever you prefer in the tortilla to keep it company and immediately eat.
• These are good HOT -- so don't bother making a bunch ahead. This is the kind of food you cook for people standing around in the kitchen so they can eat it fresh.

CREAMY QUESO WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook, stirring and breaking up with a spoon, until browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes; set aside.
• Heat half-and-half and Velveeta in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until Velveeta is melted, 6-8 minutes. Add Monterey Jack and cheddar; cook, stirring, until mixture is smooth. Mix in chipotle chiles, salt, and both chile powders.
• Transfer queso to a warm dish and top with Cotija cheese and reserved chorizo.
• DO AHEAD: Queso (without toppings) can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
