Queso Chorizo Stuffed Shells Recipes

QUESO FUNDIDO TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Stir in the garlic. Add the salt and pepper. Cook for just about 60 seconds. Slowly stream in 1 cup of the half and half, whisking the entire time. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup half and half and cornstarch until no lumps remain to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook for a minute until the milk thickens. Reduce the heat to low.
• Stir in the grated cheese, one small handful at a time, until melted.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring often and crumbling the chorizo apart, until it's browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• In a bowl, stir together the onion, cilantro and lime juice with a pinch of salt.
• To build the tacos, spread a few tablespoons of the queso on the flour tortilla. Wrap it around one of the hard shell tortillas. Fill the hard shell with the crumbled chorizo. Top with the onion and cilantro mixer. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve with the extra queso!

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.
