"The first thing to know about queso fundido is that it's not " queso," the creamy dip, often based on Velveeta, eaten with chips. Queso fundido, which translates to "melted cheese," is just that: It's melted cheese to which you can add sautéed mushrooms, poblano peppers or chorizo. It must be eaten the moment it's done, when the cheese is warm and stretchy."
"The first time I went was with a group of local friends. I didn't order, but rather happily ate whatever came to the table that they had ordered. The first thing that arrived was a cazuela of queso fundido topped with a mountain of fried parsley. I was stunned. I'd seen a lot of queso fundido in my time but never one like this. I loved the juxtaposition of the rich,"
Queso fundido is melted cheese distinct from creamy queso dip, traditionally enhanced with sautéed mushrooms, poblano peppers, or chorizo. It must be eaten immediately while warm and stretchy, spooned into corn or flour tortillas and paired with fixings such as avocado, salsa, or lime. The dish yields dramatic cheese pulls and benefits from prompt serving, similar to a soufflé. A memorable presentation includes a cazuela topped with a mountain of crispy fried parsley, creating a contrast between dense cheese and ethereal herbs. Prepare accoutrements and appetite before melting the cheese in the oven, and serve without delay for best texture.
