This velvety smooth queso fundido stays melty and dippable thanks to sodium citrate. A garnish of cooked chorizo and pickled jalapeños sets the recipe off.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring one 12-oz. bottle Lone Star beer or any lager or Pilsner just to a simmer in a medium heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, add 2 Tbsp. sodium citrate (mixture will froth up and fill pot), then whisk in 8 oz. sharp white cheddar, coarsely grated, and 8 oz. mild, medium, or sharp yellow cheddar, coarsely grated. Reduce heat to medium and cook, whisking often, until cheese is completely melted and mixture is velvety and just slightly thickened (you want it to be thin and runny), 6–⏱️ 9 minutes. Remove pot from heat and mix in ¼ tsp. sugar and ½ cup chopped sliced pickled jalapeños; season queso with freshly ground pepper.

Heat broiler. Scrape queso into a small ovenproof dish and top evenly with ¼ cup crumbled cooked fresh chorizo and 2 Tbsp. coarsely grated Oaxaca cheese or Monterey Jack. Broil until Oaxaca cheese is melted and golden brown, 2–⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove from broiler and top with store-bought toasted breadcrumbs or panko, cilantro leaves with tender stems, and sliced pickled jalapeños to your liking.
