BEST Party Queso Recipe:

  • 1/2 LB Chorizo
  • 1/2 LB Ground Beef
  • 1 can Red Gold Diced Tomatoes w/green chilis
  • Sliced Jalapenos couple spoonfuls, adjust to your preference
  • 1 block of Cream Cheese
  • 1-2 cups of shredded Cheese
  • 1 pack Taco Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
  • 16 oz. Meltable Cheese Product cubed
  • 2 tablespoons whole whipping cream optional

Tacos:

  • 1.25 LB Ground Beef
  • 1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
  • ¾ Cup Water
  • 20 Corn Tortillas

Instructions

Queso Instructions:

  • Get cooking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (190°C)
  • Cook the meats: Brown the ground beef and chorizo and drain any excess grease.
  • Combine ingredients: Mix the cooked meats with the remaining ingredients in your baking dish (or a disposable tin foil dish).
  • Bake or grill: Place the dish in the oven for 20-25 minutes until melted and bubbly. Stir halfway through!
  • Add a touch of cream: For an extra creamy texture, stir in 2 tablespoons of whole whipping cream at the end. If it's too thick add some more salsa with the juice!

Tacos:

  • Prepare your taco filling: Brown your ground beef. Once cooked through, add your taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • Heat the tortillas in the microwave until soft and pliable.
  • Place a tortilla flat on a surface and add some taco filling to one side.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly into a tube-like shape. Place it seam-side down or secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all tortillas and filling are used.
  • Heat about 1 ½ cups of oil in a pan and fry the flautas in batches until crisp and golden.
  • Remove them and place them on a lined paper plate or a cooling rack.
  • Place queso and other toppings at the bottom of your cup. Lastly, add in the tacos. Enjoy

Notes

This yields about 20 tacos or 10 Servings/Cups for Game Day (with tons of queso left over!); you may want to double the taco recipe if you have more than eight people. 
Servings: 8 people
