CHORIZO QUESO FUNDIDO

Steps:

• For the chorizo pork sausage: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the pork, vinegars, paprika, garlic powder, guajillo powder, pepper, salt, cumin and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well using hands or a wooden spoon.
• Spread mixture over a baking pan and roast until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain excess fat.
• For the rajitas: Saute onions and minced garlic with vegetable oil in a skillet on medium-high heat until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cilantro, salt and thyme and continue to cook 2 minutes.
• For the escabeche: Combine vinegar, salt, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Place chile rings in a mixing bowl (remove seeds if desired to lessen heat). Pour boiling liquid over chiles and refrigerate until chilled, up to overnight.
• For the queso fundido: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Layer a 9-by-6-inch casserole dish with onion rajitas, 2 cups cooked chorizo pork sausage and cheeses. Place 4 to 6 pickled chiles on top.

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat, add the oil if using. Most Mexican chorizos have enough fat and won't need the vegetable oil. Add the chorizo and cook, stir frequently to cook evenly and avoid it from sticking to the bottom. It'll take about 6-7 minutes to cook.
• Once cooked, remove the excess fat from the skillet or place the cooked chorizo over a paper towel to absorb the fat.
• Place the chorizo in an oven proof dish, setting aside 2 tablespoons to garnish when ready to serve. I divided the chorizo and cheese into 2 small clay pots, but you can use a large oven proof dish.
• Place the grated cheese over the chorizo and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Do not overcook or it will have a chewy texture.
• Remove form oven and place over a heat proof surface. Serve warm with salsa and plenty of flour tortillas or tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos on a broiler pan and broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate and let steam until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Scrape off the charred skin with a paring knife and remove the stems and seeds; chop the peppers and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in an 8- or 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and poblanos and cook until the scallions are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring to coat, 1 minute.
• Add the lager and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheese, a handful at a time, stirring until melted before adding more. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until browned and bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Oil a 3 or 4 cup ovenproof baking dish.
• In a dry medium skillet, saute the chorizo over medium-high heat until almost crisp. Remove the chorizo to a plate. Add the onions and garlic to the pan juices and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Return the chorizo to the skillet with the onions and garlic and stir to combine.
• Put half of the cheese in the baking dish and sprinkle with half of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining cheese and chorizo mixture. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve with flour tortillas for soft tacos.
