QUESO FUNDIDO TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Stir in the garlic. Add the salt and pepper. Cook for just about 60 seconds. Slowly stream in 1 cup of the half and half, whisking the entire time. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup half and half and cornstarch until no lumps remain to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook for a minute until the milk thickens. Reduce the heat to low.
• Stir in the grated cheese, one small handful at a time, until melted.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring often and crumbling the chorizo apart, until it's browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• In a bowl, stir together the onion, cilantro and lime juice with a pinch of salt.
• To build the tacos, spread a few tablespoons of the queso on the flour tortilla. Wrap it around one of the hard shell tortillas. Fill the hard shell with the crumbled chorizo. Top with the onion and cilantro mixer. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve with the extra queso!

QUESO FUNDIDO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°. Place the hard shell tacos on a baking sheet in a single layer and leave in the oven to warm while you prepare the rest of the recipe. (This will help keep your queso melty when you're eating!).
• To make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and slowly whisk in the cheeses. When smooth, lower the heat and keep warm.
• In a large skillet, add about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and preheat over medium-high heat. When hot, add the poblano peppers and a pinch of salt; sauté, stirring frequently, until softened and pliable, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add another teaspoon of vegetable oil and the chorizo. Use the back of the spoon to break the chorizos up as it cooks. Cook for 9 to 10 minutes, until cooked through, browned and slightly crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• To assemble, toast the flour tortillas over the open flame on a gas burner, or warm in the microwave until pliable. Spread a thin layer of the cheese sauce all over one side of the tortilla and place the warm taco shell in the center, folding up the sides and gently pressing together to adhere the tortilla and taco shell to one another. Continue until all of the taco shells are assembled.
• To assemble: layer the poblano pepper strips, chorizo, green onions, cilantro, and Cotija in the shells. Drizzle with crema, if desired, and squeeze the lime over top. Eat them fast and while they're hot!
