Explore flavors south of the border with Smoked Duck Queso! This recipe inspired by Mexican Choriqueso is a crowd favorite. We use our Ground Duck and blend it with spices similar to Pork Chorizo. Then we put together a blend of white cheeses and finish it off in the smoker to create this delicious cheesy dish.
