Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of black beans, cooked and drained
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 1 cup of mixed cheese (such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco), shredded

- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeno. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cooked black beans to the skillet and season with ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small cast-iron skillet or oven-safe dish, spread the cooked black beans in an even layer at the bottom.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mixed cheese over the black beans, then top with the cooked and crumbled chorizo.
- Add the remaining shredded mixed cheese on top of the chorizo, creating an even layer.
- Place the skillet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the queso fundido is hot and bubbly, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
