Queso Fundido Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225g) of cheese (like Oaxaca, Chihuahua, or Monterey Jack), shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 jalapeños or serrano peppers, seeded and diced (adjust to your heat preference)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon cumin (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Tortilla chips or warm tortillas (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced peppers and garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the cumin (if using) and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the shredded cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and well combined. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or cream.
- Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or warm tortillas for dipping.
