And as someone who loves to host, finding new dip recipes has basically become my side hustle.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I started making this easy dip with just two ingredients\u2014cheese and chorizo\u2014years ago for friends and family. It\u2019s always a hit and can be served with almost anything\u2014tortilla chips, crusty bread, celery sticks, you name it. I\u2019ve since upgraded the classic recipe, adding fun stir-ins like tender onions, green chiles, and sometimes pickled jalape\u00f1os to make it extra special.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> For the best presentation, I like to serve this queso fundido to my guests in a cast-iron skillet straight from the oven. I top it with grape tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. As with most cheese-based dips, this recipe is best served hot and fresh out of the oven, so make sure your dipping items (and guests!) are ready at the table. Because who doesn\u2019t love an epic cheese pull?\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-tips-for-making-queso-fundido\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Tips for Making Queso Fundido <\/span> <\/h2>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li>For the meltiest dip, shred your own cheese from a block. But if you\u2019re in a pinch, pre-shredded cheeses work fine.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>If you like spicy foods (like me!), chop some pickled jalape\u00f1os and add them to the pan while cooking the onions. And if you want to challenge yourself with even more spice, add a pinch or two of cayenne to the chorizo while it\u2019s cooking.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>If you can\u2019t find Oaxaca cheese at your supermarket, substitute it with low-moisture mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese.<\/li>\n<li>This dip doubles as a delicious taco filling. Scoop and stuff into warmed flour tortillas and top with shredded red cabbage, fresh cilantro, and pickled red onions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block
