Ingredients
- 1 link fresh Mexican chorizo, casing removed
- 1/2 yellow onion, minced
- 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark beer
- 1/2 cup canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup canned diced roasted green chiles
- Chopped scallions and diced tomato, for garnish
- Tortilla chips, see Cook’s Note
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the chorizo in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it renders, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, serrano and garlic and continue cooking until the chorizo is crisp and the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and transfer to a bowl. Toss the cheeses with the flour in a separate bowl.
- Add the beer to the skillet, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Whisking constantly, add the cheese mixture a little bit at a time, whisking until smooth and well blended. Stir in the beans, chiles and chorizo mixture.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook until the queso is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Garnish with scallions and tomato and serve with tortilla chips.

Fantastic recipe – everyone loves this! Easy to make, just follow directions exactly!
This came out brown and runny. I will try again because it is making me crazy how bad looking it is.
This was a big hit for our poker game, it was gone too fast.
So good! We crushed this! Only change was using hot green chiles instead of the mild ones… Can’t wait to make it again! Thanks, Guy!
