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!

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!

That's funny, I wanted to make pizza bread and all I found in the fridge was mexican cheese, I put some marinara sauce down on some bread and used the mexican cheese broken up with a fork until fluffy and topped it, in the toaster oven melted and crisped up great and tasted good, I was surprised ! Its funny you mentioned it, "One bite, everyone knows the rules" ! 🍕

I made this years ago using the stove and oven to melt the cheese. I liked it but the chorizo is very oily. I thought I had made a mistake and not poured the oil off but realized that the recipe never said to do so. So I guess I made it correctly. I cut my corn tortillas into wedges, brushed them with a bit of oil and baked them to make chips. I'm glad that I found this video because I had been getting the urge to make this again for some time.

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.

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 ! 👍

Thank You foe sharing your Father in law recipe. I will thank him personally after making this over the next year.
I absolutely love queso flameado. I work at a very large bar in Texas that has a rotation of food trucks, one of them makes queso flameado. every time I'm in the break room people are wondering what I'm eating, and it wins them over every single time. Top notch dish!
I made this tonight for my three adult stepchildren, being the first time I've seen all of them together for the first time in 15 years. They loved it! I did add a shot of tequila to the chorizo, but I didn't trust myself enough to light it on fire, as this was my first time making it. This was a simple, delicious dish to make. Thank you for this!
