Grilled Corn And Chorizo Queso Recipes

CREAMY CHORIZO QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil on high. Arrange an oven rack 3-inches from the broiler. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo or sausage and cook until browned, about 5-8 minutes, making sure to crumble the chorizo or sausage as it cooks. Drain excess fat; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add garlic, onion and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in milk and tomato. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in cheeses until smooth; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1/2 the chorizo or sausage and 1/2 cup cilantro. Place into oven and broil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with remaining chorizo and cilantro, garnished with pickled jalapeno peppers, if desired.

CHORIZO CON QUESO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until transparent, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Melt butter in saucepan over medium-high heat until sizzling. Stir in flour and whisk until a paste forms, about 5 minutes. Whisk in milk and continue to cook, whisking, until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the chorizo mixture, shredded cheese, and green chiles. Continue stirring until smooth and thick.
• Transfer mixture into a shallow baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.

THE NEW QUESO

Steps:

• To roast the Anaheim chiles and jalapenos: Roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold them one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow them to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Then use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Stem, seed and dice the chiles.
• In large pot over medium heat, add the bacon and chorizo. Cook until the fat has been rendered out, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic and onion to a food processor and pulse until almost a paste.
• Drain off most of the fat from the bacon and chorizo, then add the garlic-onion puree to the pot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour the diced tomatoes and green chiles into the food processor and pulse slightly. Add to the pot, juice and all. Fold in the reserved diced chiles. Cook for 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in both cheeses and the evaporated milk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through, making sure to not scorch the bottom of the pot. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and eat from the pot with tortilla chips.

CHORIZO QUESO

Steps:

• Place the chorizo in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until a significant amount of fat is released, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the flour and cream to the chorizo and whisk. Let simmer and continue to whisk, until thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the red peppers and black beans and stir to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. ([Disclaimer:] When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for five minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.) Return it to the saucepan, add both cheeses and cook over low heat, stirring until the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
• Transfer the queso to a heatproof serving bowl. Top it with the onion, pickles, avocado, and jalapenos. Garnish with the cilantro and serve warm with tortilla chips or potato chips.

GRILLED GUACAMOLE AND GRILLED QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Place the jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, avocados and limes on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Transfer the jalapeños, onions, tomatoes (cut-side down), avocados (cut-side down) and limes (cut-side down) to the grill. Grill the jalapeños and onions, turning occasionally, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Grill the tomatoes, turning once, until charred and the skins have started to pull away, 3 to 4 minutes. Grill the avocados and limes just enough to mark them, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer each ingredient as it is ready to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. If your grill doesn't have a side burner, leave the grill on.
• Finely chop the jalapeños. Coarsely chop the onions. Remove the skins from the tomatoes (if some of the skin sticks, that's fine) and coarsely chop. Scoop the avocado into a medium bowl and coarsely mash with a fork. Squeeze in the juice from the grilled limes and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the cilantro and half of the jalapeños, onions and tomatoes and stir to combine. Set the guacamole aside.
• Increase the heat of the grill to high (or turn on the side burner). Place the cream, cream cheese and chili powder in a medium saucepan and cook on the grill, whisking, until smooth and bubbly, 2 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the Cheddar and Monterey Jack in handfuls, letting one melt before adding the next, until thick and smooth. Add the remaining jalapeños, onions and tomatoes and cook, stirring, until just heated through, about 30 seconds. Season with salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with the guacamole and tortilla chips.

CHORIZO QUESO

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat, then whisk in flour slowly, adding more only after it incorporates with butter. Whisk in heavy cream and lager until combined with roux. One quart at a time, add cheeses. Once all cheese is melted, add chorizo.
