Queso Fundido
Ingredients
8 oz poblano chiles, roasted
8 oz white onion, roasted
2 cloves garlic, roasted
1 tsp Mexican oregano
1 tsp Kosher salt
1 lb smoked chorizo, chopped
1 lb semi-hard cheese, like cotija, fontina or asiago
1 lb soft cheese, like mozzarella or Oaxaca
Cooking Directions
Roast the poblanos by placing directly on the grill until charred. Let the peppers steam in a bowl covered with plastic to help the skin release itself from the goodness. Peel them and remove the stems and seeds. Roast the onions by nestling them down in the coals on the same grill. This should take 20-30 minutes and the outside will be black or charred, but the inside will be very moist. Dry roast the garlic on the grill until it is scorched and a deep rich brown color on the side against the fire. The center should still be its natural color, though.
When both vegetables are roasted and cool enough to touch, peel them into pieces about the size of a silver dollar. Place the pieces of onion and poblano in a bowl and toss with the oregano, garlic and salt. In a ceramic, glass or ceramic baking dish, place the chorizo evenly across the bottom of the dish. Then, cover the sausage with the poblano/onion mixture and spread the cheese on top. Place the dish in an oven on broil for approximately 6 minutes or until the top has spots of dark brown.
This a simple dish and details can be altered to suit you and your guests needs. You can chop the vegetables finer if you like or do in strips. You can mix the cheeses or layer them. Either way you MUST serve these with fresh homemade tortillas! Nothing else highlights a fresh warm tortilla like fundido melting all down your arm!
