The CREAMIEST, most velvety queso EVER! Serve with tortilla chips and extra chorizo + cilantro on top! SO SO GOOD.
Happy Cinco de Mayo weekend!
I mean, it’s kind of always Cinco de Mayo weekend for us in Los Angeles, but hey, I will take any excuse to faceplant myself into this queso.
Now I will say this.
This is what queso dreams are made of.
With fresh chorizo, poblano pepper, garlic and two different types of cheeses – this is legit THE ONLY queso recipe you’ll need.
I also like to pop it under the broiler for a few minutes because hello – those golden brown spots are the best.
Serve with extra choirzo on top with fresh cilantro leaves and pickled jalapenos for extra heat!

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to broil on high. Arrange an oven rack 3-inches from the broiler.
2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo or sausage and cook until browned, about 5-8 minutes, making sure to crumble the chorizo or sausage as it cooks. Drain excess fat; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Add garlic, onion and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
5. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in milk and tomato. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
6. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in cheeses until smooth; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1/2 the chorizo or sausage and 1/2 cup cilantro.
7. Place into oven and broil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Serve immediately with remaining chorizo and cilantro, garnished with pickled jalapeno peppers, if desired.
