Indulge in the creamy, spicy goodness of Queso Fundido with Jalapeños that adds a flavorful kick to your evening!
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
While the oven is heating, dice the onion and jalapeños finely.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion for about 3-5 minutes until translucent.
Add the diced jalapeños to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet from heat and combine the sautéed onions and jalapeños with cheese in an oven-safe dish.
Spread the cheese evenly in the dish and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned on top.
Once done, remove from the oven, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with tortilla chips for dipping.
