Queso Fundido
Gooey cheese dip flavored with tomato, chile and onion.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 red onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 can of green chilies
- 1 cup tomatoes chopped (canned or fresh)
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 2 to 3 cups cheddar cheese of Monterey jack grated
- salt to taste
- 2 scallions chopped
Additions
- chorizo or ground beef added along when cooking the onion
- fresh jalapeno finely chopped
- cilantro finely chopped (add at the end)
- 1/2 tsp cumin
Instructions
- In a medium or large cast iron skillet melt the butter on medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the green chilies and tomatoes, stir, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until some of the water cooks off.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch all over your vegetables and stir until you don't see any white anywhere. Add the yogurt and stir. Now add your cheese and stir until it all melts together and is gooey and beautiful and colorful and amazing. Taste it and add any salt you think it needs. Often it doesn't need much or any since the cheese is pretty salty.
- Sprinkle with chopped scallions and enjoy with lots of tortilla chips!!
- Tip: This is also a great recipe to make in a slow cooker because you can keep it warm in there when you are serving it.
