Taco meets cheese for a melty, cheesy, comfort situation in my Spicy Chorizo Queso! A fantastic, shareable, warm, cheesy dip that’s easy to make and perfect for every party.
- 1 pound chorizo sausage
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup onions diced
- 1 jalapeno diced (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons green chilies chopped
- 10 ounces white American processed cheese Try Land O Lakes or El Viajero
- 6- ounce pepper jack cheese
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 Tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- 8 cups Frito Scoops or tortillo chips
- Heat medium sauce pan to medium high. Add chorizo and diced onions (and jalapeno). Saute' until chorizo is no longer pink and onions are translucent. Drain fat and add taco seasoning. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- Melt cheeses and milk in a microwave safe bowl in 1 minute intervals, stirring after each minute, until cheese is melted. Stir in green chilies.
- To Serve: I prefer to add the melted cheese mixture to a serving bowl. Spoon chorizo mixture in center. Top with tomato and cilantro for a pretty little restaurant- style presentation. (or if you prefer just mix the whole thing together! It's more than likely going to be mixed together once Big Daddy gets in....er, I mean..... never mind...) Serve with Frito Scoops or tortillo chips

I wonder if you could use real white American cheese instead of the processed?
Paula says
Yes, you may need to add milk to thin it some
