Tips & Warnings

• Use chorizo sausage in the Queso Fundido. This spicy Mexican sausage is available in most grocery stores.
• Sour cream on the side is an option.
• If you don't care for very spicy dishes, substitute mild salsa for medium and regular pork sausage for the spicy variety.
• Make sure you drain the sausage and ground beef well after browning. There will be too much oil in the finished product if you do not drain well.
