Steps:

• Make the marinade: Add the cilantro, garlic, olive oil, adobo seasoning, pepper, and lime juice to a food processor. Blend for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth.

• When the chicken is done baking, let rest while you bake the queso fundido.

Top the queso fundido with the olives, jalapeños, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Garnish the queso fundido and chicken with the cilantro. Squeeze the lime juice over the chicken.
