What Can I Do with Queso Fresco & Queso Chihuahua???

Yeah, I make my own too!  Its so easy and the only chorizo I like is the pork!  Beef just doesnt taste the same.  If I buy it in a store, I only get it at one of the small hispanic marketas...they sell the best quality.  Also I love it from time to time when added to fried potatoes....though very high carb and not something I do often!  Or yanno the explosion that causes....  Many of the recipes I post are guesstimates of how much or how little to add as I didnt learn with written recipes either!  But I do love chorizo with eggs or beans....even better on sopes!!! yum!

Hey you two..I would love to have some good pork chorizo..Can one of you gimme a recipe,my husband is spanish,he would love it too.
Thanks

1 lb ground pork
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T vinegar (I used cider)
1 1/2 T Ancho chili powder
1/2 T ground cumin
1 t ground coriander
1 t salt
1/2 t dried Mexican oregano, rubbed
pinch black pepper
pinch ground cayenne or hot pepper flakes
pinch brown sugar

Crumble pork in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir just til all ingredients are incorporated (you could also use your hands for the mixing step). Cover tightly and let "marinate" for 1-2 days in the fridge. Mix again.

At this point you can use it or wrap in freezer safe bags or containers and freeze.



This is the closest recipe that has measurements as to how I make mine....I dont use a recipe so its difficult to give one....everything in this recipe is exactly what I use with the exception of the cheyenne  pepper and I like ground chile de arbol....not for the weaker of us though as it is VERY spicy.  Enjoy!

ETA:  I like mine redder too....so I do use more chile than some care for.....at tiimes, if making it for myself and my kids I use New Mexico Hot chiles that I have soaked in ho****er til pliable then pureed with the vinegar and just enough water to make a sauce then add that too the rest of the ingredients and meat...depends upon your tastes though....

Chorizo and eggs is one of my all time favorite breakfasts in the world.  Mom always makes extra so I can take it home with me

with a house of teenagers as often as I have them we rarely have left overs no matter how much I make...lol.  we do love chorizo though...another favorite is when we make the eggs and chorizo and fill sopes....sopes are small thicker corn tortillas that have been deep fried...kinda like little bowls.  YUM.....

The recipe ideas sound awesome!

I can't think of Queso Chihuahua  though with out remembering one time I was with my friend scouting restraunts to have her wedding dinner/ cater her reception. We went to one nice mexican restraunt and were meeting with the assistant manager who had samples for us to try. One was a yummy dip made with Queso Chihuahua. He asked me how I liked it and I said it was really good, but I couldn't help picturing the farmer milking the Chihuahuas to make the queso. LOL!!
He laughed and then impersonated the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld and said "No queso for you!"
