Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz chorizo sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- optional for serving tortilla chips
- optional for garnish cilantro
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Remove the chorizo from its casing (if applicable) and cook it in the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain), garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cooked chorizo to the mixing bowl and fold it into the mixture until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the dip to cool for 3-5 minutes.
If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
