Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
cored, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
kosher salt
3 tbsp tequila
1/2 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded (3 cups)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
warm corn tortillas

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil.
Add the diced tomatoes, minced jalapeños, diced onion and a large pinch of salt and cook over moderately high heat, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the tequila and cook, stirring frequently, until the skillet looks nearly dry, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low.
Add the cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until fully melted, about 30 seconds.
Quickly transfer the queso fundido to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately, with tortillas or chips.
