How to Make Beery Chorizo Queso Fundido

  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 medium yellow onion (chopped), 1 jalapeño pepper (minced, seeds removed to adjust spiciness), and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a separate large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add 8 ounces chorizo sausage (removed from casings) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the caramelized vegetables.
  5. Wipe out the chorizo saucepan. Return it to medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  6. Once the butter melts, whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin until smooth and the flour is absorbed (about 1 minute).
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup beer (any type you enjoy) and 1 cup milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (Monterey Jack, cheddar, etc.) until completely melted and smooth.
  9. Transfer the cheese sauce to a warmed serving dish, fondue pot, or small slow cooker set to warm or low.
  10. Stir 1/4 cup chopped cilantro into the chorizo-vegetable mixture and spoon it on top of the melted cheese.
  11. Garnish with additional cilantro and serve immediately with tortilla chips.
