2. Prepare Ingredients: Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing and chop the onion into small pieces.

3. Cook Chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

4. Add Onion: Once the chorizo is cooked, add the chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent, mixing it well with the chorizo.

5. Assemble Queso Flameado: Transfer the cooked chorizo and onion mixture to a medium-sized ovenproof bowl.

6. Melt Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the chorizo and onion mixture. Place the bowl in the preheated oven or use a microwave to melt the cheese until it’s gooey and bubbly. This usually takes about 5 minutes in the oven or 2 minutes in the microwave.

7. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the bowl from the oven or microwave. Serve the Queso Flameado immediately with hot flour tortillas for dipping.
