You can reheat this ooey-gooey dip in a skillet, or keep it warm in a fondue pot.
Ingredients
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Step 1
Mix tomato, chile, and oregano in a small bowl. Season with salt; let salsa stand for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss both cheeses with flour in a medium bowl. Cook chorizo in a medium saucepan over medium heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until it begins to render, about 1 minute. Add onion and continue cooking until chorizo is cooked and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer chorizo mixture to a small bowl; return saucepan to heat. Add beer; simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits. Whisking constantly, add cheese mixture a 1/4-cupful at a time, allowing it to become blended and smooth between additions. Stir in chorizo mixture. DO AHEAD:Queso can be made 30 minutes ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Step 3
To reheat, warm skillet with queso fundido over medium heat; stir until melted and bubbly.
Step 4
Using a slotted spoon, spoon salsa over queso. Serve in skillet with a basket of tortilla chips on the side.

Back to TopMade this for the family on New Year’s Eve and it was a hit. Used more beer as needed to thin it out. Added half a line to the salsa and served it on the side (picky eaters) and everyone loved that too.

Cheddar cheese? We never used yellow cheese for this in Mexico. You need Chihuahua cheese. this is definitely Tex-Mex.

I LOVE this recipe, and it was a huge it at my last party. Everyone asked for the recipe. It thickens, but I served it in a ceramic fondu pot and just added more beer when necessary. Delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly with two modifications: I omitted the Serrano chile (a member of the family does not like chile heat), and I doubled the recipe. While I liked the flavor, the consistency was like rubber or a very stiff taffy, even when it was very warm. Because my family liked (yet didn't love) the flavor, I'd be willing to try it again if I know what did I do wrong, if anything?

This was so good!! It was a hit with my guests at our Christmas in November party this year. Keeping it in the skillet made for easy serving and easy clean-up.

This was a big hit at our last family get-together. Easy enough for my 11 and 12 year-old daughters to make, but it was VERY thick. We thinned it with extra beer. Next time I'll double the serrano, just to spice it up a little bit more.

I added cumin and thinned with a little milk. Very tasty.

This was bland and boring. I have made many versions of fundido and this was the worst.
