Queso Fundido Torta
Ingredients
-
2 fresh poblano chile peppers
-
8 ounce uncooked chorizo sausage, casings removed if present
-
4 bolillo rolls, split
-
¼ cup mayonnaise
-
2 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese (8 oz.)
-
4 tablespoon butter
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F. Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove stems, seeds, and membranes.* Place pepper halves, cut sides down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes or until charred. Bring foil up around peppers and fold edges together to enclose. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel off and discard skins.
-
Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet cook sausage over medium-high heat until browned. Using a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels. Wipe out skillet.
-
Spread bottoms of rolls with mayonnaise. Fill rolls with pepper halves, sausage, and cheese.
-
In a 12-inch skillet melt 2 Tbsp. of the butter over medium heat. Add two of the sandwiches. Weight them down with the 10-inch skillet (add a few unopened cans of food to the top skillet). Cook 2 minutes or until golden. Turn sandwiches; replace skillet and food cans. Cook 2 minutes more or until golden and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.
*Tip
Chile peppers contain oils that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with them.
