Ingredients:

1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

½ cup kimchi, chopped

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for extra spice)

½ cup cooked chorizo (optional for extra flavor)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp butter

Tortilla chips or crusty bread, for serving

Instructions:

Prep the Cheese: In a bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese. Set aside.

Sauté Kimchi & Garlic: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped kimchi and stir, cooking for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly caramelized.

Add Chorizo & Jalapeño (Optional): For extra depth, stir in the cooked chorizo and sliced jalapeño. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the shredded cheese mix, allowing it to melt and combine with the kimchi and chorizo mixture.

Serve Hot: Once the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or crusty bread.

Tips:

Customize the Heat: You can adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeño or extra spicy kimchi.

Make it Vegetarian: Skip the chorizo and opt for a meatless kimchi queso fundido.
