Queso flameado

[Drac]

Hi all,

Just tried this for the first time today and got to say I'm in love.  A couple of co-workers brought some back from a local Mexican restraunt.  I have some plans to do up some chorizo up and make a batch.  Did some googling and came across it on a site I've been to before.  The recipe -

Queso flameado
Ingredients:
3 cups of shredded asadero cheese
1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack
1 poblano chile
1/2 cup of Mexican chorizo

Method:
Heat the poblano chile under the broiler for five minutes on each side or until its blackened. Place the chile in a paper sack, close it and let the chile steam for 15 minutes. After this time, rub off the skin, remove the stem and seeds and cut into strips.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Break up the chorizo and cook it in a skillet until it's done, about five minutes. Lightly grease a medium-sized cast-iron skillet or a casserole dish and add the cheese. Top with the crumbled, cooked chorizo and poblano strips and cook for 15 minutes or until bubbling.

Spoon out the melted queso flameado onto tortillas. Serve immediately.

Note: If you can't find asadero cheese, Chihuahua cheese is a good substitute. But if you can't find it either, then use Muenster

Maybe in the future make up my own cheese and chorizo to make it completely from scratch.  The one they brought tasted like motz and chorizo with no peppers.
