Sometimes this is called a “queso flameado” but queso flameado is usually lit on fire with a shot of tequila - we’re not doing that today. We’re making a simple choriqueso the way we used to experience it here in
South Texas on the border. Sometimes this is made with rajas, sometimes with mushrooms or other chile pepper and onion toppings, but today we’re keeping it simple.
A lot of my barbecue passion and experience came from my father and grandfather, but the choriqueso and cabrito experience came from my father in law – Frank Nieto!
Today we’re cooking over the fire on the ProPit RPG Grill but you can cook this on the stove top or in the oven, whatever works best for you. All you need for this recipe is two packages of Chorizo de San Manuel, our favorite chorizo, and two packs of queso oaxaca.
This recipe is so, so easy to make. All we have to do is cook the chorizo in the pan, add the grated cheese, and then pull yourself a big ol delicious choriqueso taco. You can top this with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or anything else you like. Let’s fire it up and cook some choriqueso!

Queso Oaxaca is a very underrated cheese. It's incredible on homemade pizza.
-
LEGEND. That mustache belongs in a museum.

When I think of Texas this is the type of fella who I think of as a real Texan. Hell of a cook with an awesome Mexican/South Western flair to cooking. Awesome video.

My only complaint about this is that 1) it isn't at my house and 2) your channel gets shown to me when I am famished 😂 . Nice job, brother. Those pequin peppers are incredible

My four year old watched this with me and she said “ Dad, let’s have that for dinner tonight!” I think she is on to something! Plus it will give me a reason to make some more salsa.

This man reminds me of my father and that's why I love him.

I’ve only seen 2 of this man’s videos and very quickly he has become my favorite chef I’ve seen on YouTube.

This is exactly what our favorite local Mexican restaurant serves with tortilla chips! It’s kind of buried in the menu, but my husband discovered it and we LOVE it! Sometimes we get takeout and just order 2 of these appetizers for our dinner. 😋 I had no idea it could be made so easily at home!

I second the statement that Arnie is a National Treasure!!!

I would defenitely replicate this myself to serve this to my family on lunch. Greetings from The Philippines, brother!

I wish you were my dad growing up. You seem like a good guy. Thanks for teaching me how to cook this!

The queso fundido with chorizo is one of the best foods ever!
-
I’ve been making Korean corn cheese for my in-laws for years and it slowly evolved to incorporate queso Oaxaca and chorizo. They’re from Del Rio, so now I understand where that suggestion came from.😂
