Homemade Queso Fundido Recipe

This incredibly delicious queso fundido recipe is jam-packed with chorizo and homemade pico de gallo for the perfect appetizer snack.

Queso fundido translates from Spanish to English as, “melted cheese,” and essentially that’s all it is, except for when you bring the word fundido into the mix. Most of the time you’ll hear queso dip, however when it turns into queso fundido, it usually means other things are mixed in.
