Jaw-dropping. As soon as you set it on a table it will fly off. Guaranteed. Especially if I am around!
Queso fundido is the epitome of an antojo. What we Mexicans call a food craving that can be eaten anytime of day as a quick snack, or a full meal if eaten in a big enough amount. Antojo literally translates to craving, and I don’t know a single Mexican that doesn’t drool over the thought of a queso fundido.
Queso fundido is not a cheese dip. Queso fundido is not a cheese sauce. Queso fundido is the real deal. It is real cheese. Tons of it. You throw a combination of deliciously flavorful melty cheeses onto a baking dish or a traditional earthenware cazuela. Then place it on a heat source — it can be on a burner, in the oven, under the broiler — until the cheese not only melts, but becomes super bubbly on top and starts making a crust all around the edges.
Wait. Then come the toppings. The most typical and popular toppings in restaurants in Mexico City, where I grew up, are poblano rajas, chorizo and mushrooms. They are separate offerings, so you choose if you want your queso with chorizo or with rajas or mushrooms. Different restaurants have their variations, for example, it can be rajas with caramelized onions, different kinds of chorizo, cultivated or wild mushrooms cooked with epazote or dried chiles, to name some.
When I make queso at home, I like to make a combo of my favorite toppings. No one can stop me and no one should stop you! My take combines caramelized onions and poblano chiles, throws in a bit of seeded and diced tomato for an added juicy bite and tons of crisp chunks of flavorful chorizo.
Most people I know like their queso fundido on flour tortillas. But it is you and your guests’ choice if they want corn tortillas, too. If you have some some salsas and guacamole, place them on the table for optional add ons.
Whichever way, have your Gran Centenario Añejo Tequila out to chase your queso fundido tacos and to wash down that queso fundido. I like to serve it neat or on the rocks as it has such a smooth taste.
Once everything is on the table, all bets are off. Run for it, if you want a chance to make a queso fundido taco before it disappears.
Poblano Rajas and Chorizo Queso Fundido
Recipe Yield
Cooking time
Rate this recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus more to grease the baking dish
- 1/3 pound Mexican chorizo casings removed, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 white onion halved and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 poblano chile roasted, sweated, peeled, cut into strips
- 1 ripe Roma tomato cored, seeded, cut into small dice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt or to taste
- 1 pound (or 4 cups) combination of shredded Mexican-style melty cheeses such as Asadero, quesadilla and Oaxaca (can sub with mozzarella, Muenster and Monterey Jack)
- 8 to 10 flour or corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- Serve with salsa of your choice optional
- Pair with Gran Centenario Añejo Tequila neat or on the rocks
To Prepare
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chorizo, cook for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a couple of spatulas or wooden spoons until crisp and brown. Remove from the heat and scrape into a bowl.
- Set a rack on upper third tier of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Return the skillet to medium heat, add the butter and once it melts, add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, for 6 to 7 minutes, until they have wilted and begun to brown around the edges. Add the poblano pepper strips, tomato, and salt, and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
- Place shredded cheese in a gently oiled shallow baking dish that can comfortably hold it. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until completely melted. Remove from the oven. Top with the crispy chorizo and poblano rajas mixture. Place back in the oven and bake for another 7 to 8 minutes, until cheese is oozing and browned along the edges and part of the top.
- Meanwhile, preheat a comal or large skillet over medium-low heat. Heat the tortillas, making sure they are not on top of each other, until completely warmed, puffed and slightly browned. Place in a tortilla warmer or wrap in a clean cloth or kitchen towel.
- Remove the queso from the oven and place on the table along with the warm tortillas, ripe avocado slices, and salsa of choice, if desired. Let everyone assemble their tacos!

This sounds so yummy – can’t wait to try it! Love watching your show! My grandparents were from Leon, Guanajuato and so many of your recipes are just like my mom and grandmother’s. Can you tell me what brand of chorizo you use? Our family has used Cacique brand for so long, but it never gets crispy like I see yours does on your shows. Should I just cook it longer? Please let me know. Thanks for much for teaching me to be a better cook!

Pati, we did it again! you and I. Usually, when it comes to mealtime, I can’t get two words out of my Chava. It drives really drives me sometimes you know? It’s not like i’m giving him bologna and cheese or anything burnt. I put thought into it. I would really appreciate some kind of feedback from him. I guess that’s just his way. Bless his heart he always eats everything, good or bad?! But not today. You were right it flew off the table. He loved it! that makes me happy. So to you a big thank you. I loved it too. I am not just saying that because you are my absolute favorite.

Dear Pati:-
Wonderful recipe , if a good chorizo is not available in their area ,
is easy to make. All it takes is buy pork already cut in small pieces , soaked the meat in vinegar over night add the spices and voila a good chorizo is ready to eat. ( spices garlic , salt pepper , oregano ,cominos and a pinch of nutmeg. ) the queso fundido was delicious we happen to have a tequila presidencial smooth and delicious with this delicacy.

Pati, come visit us in New Mexico. It’s chili (yes we spell it with an “i”) roasting time and the air is full of the wonderful fragrance. Plus it’s easier to work with prepared chili. I love to peel, chop and freeze a big bushel bag or more of roasted chili instead of roasting them in the oven. Ristra’s are hanging from the farm stands too. So pretty with red chili. I bet you would love it!

Patti, This looks so good i think i will try this on my family next holiday. For years I have been the homemaker (cook, tamale maker, spanish rice taught to me by my hispanic father in law who was a chef in the AF in ARIZONA and taught me how to be a good wife and cook. He made the best stuff but my favorite was his tamales and his recipe he left with me. Your recipes looks so good I can’t wait for the next holiday to try the QUESO FUNDIDO. For the first time i’m going to try making pinto beans in my crock pot. I tried years ago when first married but they were tasteless and boring any advice. I live in UTAH with my husband of 40yrs, two children both grown and my three grandchildren. I have congestive heart failure with COPD and have two heart attacks with stent placement. I sleep alot but when i am able to be up and about i like to cook. My house is a mess but my husband keeps telling me take small steps. Keep doing what your good at, luv KG

I tried this recipe today for lunch. I used Olive Oil spray instead of vegetable oil spray for baking dish. Also I didn’t have a poblano so i seeded a jalapeno and sliced it into Rajas. Also I chopped a green onion, and some Cilantro. After I baked my dish I spoon on the chopped tomatoe and fresh green onins, cilantro and Cotija Cheese on top.
Served with an over easy Egg on top and some Air fried Carb Balance tortillas chips. Alot of flavor in this delicious Queso Fundido and low carb. Well if you can resist eating all of it. Enjoy

Hi Pati, love your site & your show. Watching your show is like going to a dear friend’s home, where you make me the most delicious meals. Perfect COVID “getaway!” We’ve Tivo’d as many as we can get and visit you often.
Trader Joe’s has a “Soyrizo” sausage that is spicy and yummy; should work great in this cheesy dish. Have you ever considered a show where you make every dish twice? Carne version + veggie (or vegan) version for the growing number of meatless eaters? You could even have your boys do a taste test at the end (tough judges.) Fieldroast and other companies now make excellent veg. sausages.
Also, I would like to introduce you to the Delicata squash. I do not care for squash, but I LOVE me a good roasted Delicata! Try one seeded, oiled, and roasted (just like a potato.) They can be loaded or not, and you eat them, tender skin and all.
Thanks so much for making our world a little happier!

I don’t eat pork, so am wondering if the other toppings will be adequate for flavor, or should I add something to compensate for the lack of spicy meat? I was thinking that I might sauté’ more mushrooms, peppers and onions, spicing them up a bit. Should I add something to the cheeses before baking?

Thank you, Pati! This Fundido recipe is perfect for a different New Years dish. We may have to make it a time or to before the holiday to “check it out”!
