Chorizo and Queso Fundido Coffin
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 package Cacique Queso Quesadilla shredded cheese
- 10-ounce Cacique Oaxaca, shredded
- 9-ounce Cacique Pork Chorizo
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup onions, diced
- 3-4 cloves of Garlic, diced
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1 pack Puff Pastry
- 1 bunch Cilantro
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Start by making your little creepy crawlers out of puff pastry. Use cookie cutters or get creative and make your own shapes, like spiders and bones. Bake them until perfectly toasted and set aside for later.
- In a skillet, cook the chorizo on medium until cooked through, drain and set aside. Slice the top off of the loaf. Pull out the bread center to create a nice deep bowl for your queso fundido. Next, take a sharp knife and carve the letters RIP onto the top of the bread. Fill in the letters with about one tablespoon of the chorizo.
- In medium skillet heat butter on low and add onions and garlic. Cook until softened. Gradually add the shredded Queso Quesadilla and Oaxaca cheeses to the skillet over a low heat, mixing constantly. Add the remaining cooked and drained chorizo to the melted cheese and stir in.
- Pour the queso fundido into the bread coffin while warm and serve immediately. Decorate your coffin base with cilantro and surround your coffin bread with the puff pastry dippers.
- Cook’s Note: Queso fundido is meant to be eaten quickly after being cooked. Make sure to have your bread coffin and creepy crawler dippers ready before the queso fundido.
