A spicy, cheesy queso fundido with chorizo sausage, pimento cheese, queso cheese, and fresh salsa, great for game day and tailgating.
Y’all. Listen to me. You need to add this dip to your Superbowl menu because it is a cheesy, sausagey, spicy mix of WOW! and your friends and family will inhale it. I know, because I made it last weekend and that’s exactly what happened.
How to Make Pimento Cheese Queso Fundido
Just take pimento cheese, homemade is best but good quality store-bought will do, add some grated Mexican queso cheese, cooked chorizo sausage, and homemade Southern style salsa (or store-bought pico de gallo or salsa), melt the cheese in the oven and top it with chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions.
Serve with chips. Or spoons. It’s that good.
