Queso Fundido - Heart Attack on a Plate
Unless you believe in the Atkins Diet theory of low carbs and protein 
Anyway, La Estancia restaurant serves a very good version,
and I asked the manager what kind of cheese they use.
He brought out a wheel of Althorn (sp?) Wisconsin Monterey Jack.
Well, I couldn't find that at the local Comercial Mexican supermarket, so I asked the ever friendly and helpful deli guy for a good cheese and chorizo
for queso fundido.
He gave me some Queso Manchego Nestle and a hard chorizo, "something, something" Campestre.
A quick fry up of the chorizo with some mushrooms, drain the grease, then a toss into a microwave safe dish and add the cheese.
Depending on size of serving, small bursts of 25 seconds on high until the cheese is bubbling and you are ready to taste heaven, wrapped in a warm
tortilla.

don't the mushrooms release their water and make it soggy?

it cries out for a cooled to 45 degrees reisling. or maybe a savignon blanc.

I should have added "Previously sauteed fresh mushrooms with you favorite seasonings"

Thank goodness I re-read Queso Fundido. I at first thought it read "Queso Fundio" That sure would be a smelly recipe!
