Spanish & Hispanic Cuisine - White Cheese dip


Expert: Billy Mo - 6/18/2009

Question
Hi- I asked a question this morning about a white cheese dip like Mexican restaurants serve but I looked up "frijoles" and I don't think the cheese dip would contain beans, would it? It doesn't seem like it has beans in it. The dip is just white with what looks like green chilies in it. I'd still love to know if you have a recipe for this kind of dip.
Thanks!

Answer
Hiya Tracey,

Sorry for the delay..busy day! : )  Anyway, what you are looking for is a recipe for Queso Fundido.  There are many variations of the main recipe, but here is my fav.  Good luck & let me know if you need any more info. Bill

Queso Fundido with Sausage & Chipotle Chilies

Yield: Serves 4

1/2 pound hot Italian sausages, casings removed
1 3/4 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 teaspoons chopped canned chipotle chilies*

10 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about 2 1/2 cups packed)

12 6-inch-diameter flour or corn tortillas

*Canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce are available at Latin American markets and most supermarkets.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sauté sausages and onion in large skillet over medium-high heat until brown, breaking up clumps of sausage with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup cilantro and 1 teaspoon chipotle chilies. Transfer mixture to 9-inch-diameter baking dish. Mix cheese and remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and 1 teaspoon chipotle chilies in medium bowl. Sprinkle cheese mixture over sausage mixture. Bake casserole 10 minutes.

Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil. Place tortillas in oven to heat through. Continue to bake casserole until cheese bubbles, about 10 minutes.

Serve casserole with warm tortillas.
