Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo, removed from its casing (if necessary)
- 1/2 cup beer of your choice
- 3 cups (8 ounces) shredded Roth Creamy Havarti or Jalapeño Havarti cheese
- 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Roth Canela cheese
- 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced
- 2 scallions, minced (both white and green parts)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Method
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a plate with paper towels. Heat a large pan over medium-high. Add chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula as it cooks so it becomes browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. If chorizo is still in big clumps, use your fingers to crumble.
- In a medium saucepan, heat beer just until barely simmering. Add both cheeses one handful at a time, stirring frequently to ensure the cheese is melted, before adding the next handful. Stir in the jalapeño, scallions, and salt and pepper. Transfer the queso mixture to a 1-quart shallow baking dish.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes until bubbling. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
