Description

For an easy and informal dinner, make a salad and some rice to go alongside this bubbling cheese mixture known as queso fundido. Each diner spoons some of the cheese into warm tortillas. This can also be served as an appetizer at parties. Mix up some Margaritas to add to the fun.

Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 4-ounce can chopped mild green chilies
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
12 6-inch-diameter flour or corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sauté sausage in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown, breaking up clumps with back of spoon, about 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish or other ovenproof pan. Mix chopped green chilies, 3 tablespoons cilantro and hot sauce into sausage. Sprinkle cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, then remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro over sausage mixture. Bake casserole 10 minutes.
  2. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil. Place in oven to heat through alongside sausage casserole. Continue to bake casserole until cheeses bubble and sausage mixture is heated through, about 10 minutes longer.
  3. Serve sausage and cheese mixture with warm tortillas.
