Hey, I ended up not making the queso, but probably multiple ways to do it. I don't like flour roux, I prefer melting cheese in heavy cream and thinning it out with milk or half n half whenever I make any kind of cheese sauce. I'll fry up the chorizo and drain it, then stir it into the cheese sauce. Serve with warn corn tortilla chips. At the restaurants they sometimes serve with actual corn tortillas and chips. I like a little salsa on the side too. And of course margaritas!

I ended up not making it because the chorizo I have in the freezer is a 1 pound package. It's just us 2, so that's a lot of meat I'll need to use up. I'm either going to wait until we have company over or I'll make some chili and add some chorizo to it along with ground beef.

Edited to add that some people add a bunch of other stuff to theirs that I never thought about doing. Guy Fieri (US TV personality and chef) uses beer, serrano chiles, green chiles, garlic, diced tomato and green/spring onion, and 3 kinds of cheese. I don't go through that much effort and I don't think I would like the beans in mine. I really just like the chorizo and cheese, but I suppose a little heat wouldn't be bad and the garlic (of course), tomatoes, and green onion would be okay. But since I have a bowl of salsa next to the cheese dip, I sometimes will dip a little into the salsa and then into the cheese dip on the same chip. Similar flavor profile, I suspect.

At my house I’d be better off with a cheese dipping dish and a separate tomato salsa.


Thanks for the hints.
 
It's a federal holiday here in Japan and I had a request for mushroom tarts again, this time I only made small ones and took some photos.

One set are with winter melon (kabocha) + roasted garlic and thyme, the other set were with sweet potato, cream, a pinch of cumin and crushed walnuts both with oven roasted tomatoes and smoked salt. They are really nice, and just 20 minutes start to finish.

I’m craving mushrooms and madebyyouandi & karadekoolaid are making it much worse 😃

A local tv chef tossed sliced mushrooms with soy then put them on dough with cheese for a pizza type thing so I might try that out tomorrow.


Today I’m off to the city for a Lunar New Year afternoon tea. Might go for a ride over to Manly after if the weather holds up.

To me, beets/beetroot on a burger are like potatoes with breakfast to rascal -- I just can't wrap my head around it. :laugh:

I am not sure I like regular beets. I know I hate the ones my mom used to put on salads, those pickled beets in rings from the can with cinnamon flavor. Now I know that they are not putting canned beets on burgers, but having never eaten a regular beet before I have no idea if I would like that on a burger or not. I would be willing to try it, though.
