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!

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

this man is a national treasure

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

Thank You foe sharing your Father in law recipe. I will thank him personally after making this over the next year.

I made this with vegetarian "soyrizo" and chilled out on the spices. HOLY CRAP IT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD! My wife and I pretty much took down the whole pan over the course of a couple of hours and I am HOOKED! Arnie, this was in-CREDIBLE. This will be served at gatherings and I will be the GOAT. Thanks!

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.😂

Today on Easter I was tasked to make a dish for my in-laws (all of their family) for the first time today on Easter. I am a pretty good home cook, but I felt tremendous pressure to make and deliver something delicious on a day that was really special for them. Not only we’re the regular family members from Washington going to be there,but family from California were flying in as well. To say that I had no idea what to make and that I wasn’t stressing it would be a lie. Then I came across this video yesterday morning and it inspired me to make a dish my Tio used to make for me when we would go and visit him in Monterrey: Queso Flameado! Wifey’s family is from Oaxaca so they had never had the dish before. I asked my mom a huge favor and she made some of her famous Tortillas de Harina and in conjunction with the Queso Flameado . It was a huge hit with everyone (with that said I would have to say it’s mostly because of her tortillas which are to die for.) My father in law was pretty drunk after we had ate and said that after trying the tortillas and QF I was now his new favorite in-law lol. Thank you for inspiring home cooks like us everywhere Arnie. Your generous sharing of knowledge, the confidence you give us with your wise words, and the obvious humility and kindness you come across with make us all better cooks and in turn people that bring our families together to make memories. Con mucho carino y amor Carnalazo..a un amigo a otro.

I Grew up in Monterrey, Mexico. This was my favorite dish at the cabrito restaurants and I used to finished it all...by the time the cabrito got to the table I was already stuffed😄 Love your videos! Thank you.

I'm Yankee from OH, but you have to love Arnie. He's so happy and friendly PLUS he makes you feel like you can make anything he can. Ha!
-
The power a delicious and simple Mexican dish has in bringing people together and to the table is amazing.
-
The queso fundido with chorizo is one of the best foods ever!
-
I’ve never had a cooking tutorial make me smile so much ❤️

Been lookin for this Recipe since I moved outta Santa Barbara in the 70's. Our Neighbors used to throw some Killer Pinatas Birthday parties and bring Choriqueso Taco's and homemade Tamales by from time to time because they were Awesum Neighbors. Saving this Recipe ! Can't wait to try it ! 👍
