Queso Fundido recipe

April 6, 2016 by Becky 10 Comments

queso fundido - Disney in your Day

I love me some good cheesy Mexican food, which is why the Mexico pavilion in Epcot is such a delicious place to be.  A delicious queso fundido was served at the San Angel Inn, and though you currently can’t get it there now, you can get a version of it at the newer La Hacienda de San Angel.  Thanks to the Disney Chef I decided to try my own version at home and I’m so glad I did!

I made this to bring to a super bowl party and it was a pretty big hit – but an even bigger hit were the leftovers with my husband!  In fact, he liked it so much I made it three times in about a week and we were eating so much cheese and deliciousness.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound of grated Mexican cheese
  • 1/4 pound chorizo (I actually used soy chorizo from Trader Joe’s to make a vegetarian version)
  • japaleno pepper (optional if you want it spicy)
  • tortilla chips for serving

Directions

Chop chorizo into chunks and saute over medium heat until chorizo is browned.  Preheat broiler.

Spray an oven-proof dish with non-stick spray.  Lay half of the grated cheese on the bottom of the dish.  Layer the chorizo on top of the cheese.  If you are including a jalapeno pepper chop it up and mix it in with the chorizo.  Finish by topping with the remaining cheese.

 

Broil until the cheese melts and starts to brown.  Depending on your broiler this could be anywhere from 4-12 minutes.

Allow to cool and serve with tortilla chips.

      I actually just go to our grocery store and buy their store brand “Mexican cheese mix.” I’m not sure exactly what’s in it but I think lots of combinations would be good! One of the times I made it we were running low so I used mostly cheddar and that was delicious too!

    Love when you make the recipes, Becky! 🙂 Have you thought about recreating their Monte Cristo sandwiches? I don’t know if there at Disney World at all, but over at Disneyland, they are amazing!

      I tried the Monte Cristo when we ate at Cafe Orleans last September – it was so good! I’d love to try and make it at home!

    Yum! You had me at cheese. That looks so good. I like the idea of using soy chorizo from Trader Joe’s. I think I’ll try it. Thanks!

      I wasn’t sure how the soy chorizo would be, but it was really delicious! Even though we’re not vegetarians we’ll probably use it every time we make this because it was so good.
