Queso fundido is one of the best Mexican appetizers. It’s impossible to resist the intense flavor of melted cheese and spices. Preparing it may seem complicated, but it’s surprisingly easy. Now that I know how to make it, you can always find it at our celebrations or as a snack before dinner. You can combine different ingredients like chorizo, tequila or jalapeños. The one I’m presenting to you today is a wonderful combination of poblano peppers, green sauce and, of course, tons of cheese!
