• 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.

• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.

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.

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.

• Keep warm while serving.
• Note 1- serve with tortillas or fresh tortilla chips.
• Note 2- you COULD use canned pre-roasted poblanos, but roasting one yourself is really simple.
• Take a poblano chili, rub with a bit of corn oil, put under the broiler and let it cook until the skin starts to char.
• Turn it over and continue this way until the skin is charred all over.
• Take it out (with tongs!) and put in a plastic zip-lock bag and let it sit until cool.
• Remove the chile and the skin will peel right off, then tear it open and remove the seeds and stems.
• It's that simple.
• Just like roasting a bell pepper.
