Chef's Notes
Do not skip removing the skillet from the heat before adding the cheese, or your dairy will scorch into a tragic rubbery mess before the broiler even gets a chance to kiss it.
Pro Tip
Grating your own pepper Jack, cheddar, and Oaxaca cheeses from blocks yields a dramatically superior melt compared to pre-shredded bags loaded with anti-caking starches.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to use oven mitts when grabbing a cast-iron skillet straight out of a blazing broiler will result in an immediate, screaming trip to the sink under cold water.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our guests are coming in ten minutes and the house is a wreck, but at least the cheese is hot, so they won't notice the laundry in the hallway.
The Culinary Science
Chorizo releases rendered fat packed with fat-soluble capsaicin from chili peppers, which emulsifies with the melting cheese proteins to create that iconic, velvety queso texture.
