Min’s Queso Fundido
4 (as a main course) - 8 (as an appetizer)
Less than 30 minutes
Min’s Gourmet is putting the “FUN” in “fundido” for you! This traditionally cheese & chorizo dish is given a New Mexican twist by subbing Min’s Taco Night Blend for the chorizo. Add one or more of the optionals (see below) and you have yourself a party in your mouth! But enough of the clever verbiage, let’s get on with the recipe (You’re gonna’ love this)!
NOTE:
We recommend Min’s Taco Night Blend with ground beef & Green Chile Taco Blend with ground pork!
