Ingredients
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned)
- 0.5 cup Half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Diced jalapeños (optional)
- 1 bag or pack Tortilla chips or warmed tortillas
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, half-and-half, and diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their juices). Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
If you prefer additional heat, stir in the diced jalapeños at this stage and mix well.
Step 4
Add the cooked chorizo to the melted cheese mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Step 5
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for added color and flavor.
Step 6
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or warmed flour tortillas for dipping.
