Ingredients

To make this cheesy queso dip, you will need:

• Butter, for cooking the onions.
• 1 medium onion, diced. You can use a yellow, white or red onion.
• Mexican style ground chorizo. If your sausage is in. casing, remove it prior to cooking. You're looking for small crumbles.
• 4 cloves garlic, minced.
• Some diced pickled jalapeños.
• A can of diced green chilis.
• A bit of flour, to thicken the dip.
• Some heavy cream.
• 8 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded. I prefer to shred my own cheese for best consistency.
• 8 oz Cream cheese, cut into small cubes (works best if left out to soften prior to using).

How to make Chorizo Queso Dip

1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. 
2. Add onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, 5 minutes. 
3. Add chorizo and cook, breaking up as you go, until browned- 4-5 minutes. 
4. Add diced chilis and jalapeños and stir well. 
5. Add garlic and cook until just fragrant, 30 seconds. (At this point, remove a bit of the sausage mixture and reserve in a small bowl for topping the finished dip). 
6. Add flour and stir to combine fully. 
7. Add heavy cream and cream cheese, and stir until fully incorporated and smooth. Turn off heat and fold in pepper jack. 
8. Top with reserved sausage mixture, pickled jalapeños and sliced scallions or cilantro. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
