Sizzling Skillet Queso Fundido with Chorizo
Introduction:
Queso Fundido is the kind of dish that instantly brings people together. Bubbling hot, irresistibly melty, and packed with bold flavors, this classic Mexican appetizer is comfort food at its finest. Traditionally served straight from the skillet, it invites everyone to gather around, tear off warm tortillas, and dig in while the cheese is at its peak.
This version of Queso Fundido is enriched with savory chorizo, fresh vegetables, and a splash of tequila or Mexican beer for extra depth. The result is a dish that is rich, slightly spicy, and deeply satisfying—perfect for parties, game nights, or any time you want an appetizer that disappears fast.
