Queso Fundido con Rajas

Queso Fundido con Rajas is a delightful Mexican breakfast dish featuring melted cheese paired with sautéed poblano peppers and onions. This savory treat is perfect for sharing and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

• Oaxaca cheese - 200 grams
• Poblano peppers - 2 medium
• Yellow onion - 1 small
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Place in a bowl, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes before peeling and slicing them into strips.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the roasted poblano strips and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
5. Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded Oaxaca cheese on top of the pepper mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 5 minutes.
6. While the cheese is melting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or on a griddle.
7. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
8. Serve immediately with warm tortillas for dipping.
