Ingredients
3 cups Asadero cheese, coarsely shredded
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely shredded
1 large poblano pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 Spanish onion, sliced into thin strips
1 tomato, quartered
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
½ teaspoon Adobo seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.
Add vegetable oil, poblano peppers, and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Season and Add Tomato:
Stir in the Adobo seasoning (if using). Add the quartered tomato and cook for 1 minute until slightly softened.
Add Cheese and Bake:
Evenly layer the Asadero and Monterey Jack cheeses over the vegetables.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
Serve:
Remove from the oven carefully and serve immediately with warm flour tortillas or tortilla chips.
Notes
Use a mix of cheeses for the best stretch and flavor — Asadero melts beautifully, and Monterey Jack adds creaminess.
Add cooked chorizo, mushrooms, or roasted corn for delicious variations.
Best served hot straight from the skillet — queso fundido cools and firms quickly.
Reheat leftovers gently in the oven or microwave.
