Choriqueso is a sizzling Mexican appetizer made with perfectly browned chorizo sausage and gooey, melted cheese. Served bubbling hot in a skillet, it’s perfect for scooping with warm tortillas or crispy chips. Rich, savory, and packed with bold flavor, Choriqueso is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any gathering.
In a medium skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Reduce the heat to low and evenly spread the cooked chorizo over the skillet. Layer the cheese on top, covering the chorizo completely. Allow it to melt slowly, about 5 minutes.
Once the cheese is fully melted, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños (if using). Serve immediately with tortilla chips or warm tortillas.
