Chorizo Queso Dip Recipes

CHORIZO QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Add chorizo to a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Brown then scoop onto a paper towel lined plate to drain, placing a couple more paper towels on top to soak up as much fat as possible (otherwise the grease will rise to the top of the dip.) Set aside.
• Add cheese cubes and Red Gold® Original Tex-Mex Petite Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies to a large, microwave safe bowl then microwave in 1 minute increments, stirring between increments, until smooth. Add chorizo then stir to combine. Serve immediately with chips or transfer to a crock pot set to warm (not low) to keep hot. You may add a splash of milk if needed to keep the dip creamy.

CREAMY CHORIZO QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil on high. Arrange an oven rack 3-inches from the broiler. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo or sausage and cook until browned, about 5-8 minutes, making sure to crumble the chorizo or sausage as it cooks. Drain excess fat; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add garlic, onion and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in milk and tomato. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in cheeses until smooth; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1/2 the chorizo or sausage and 1/2 cup cilantro. Place into oven and broil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with remaining chorizo and cilantro, garnished with pickled jalapeno peppers, if desired.

CHORIZO MUSHROOM QUESO DIP

• Heat extra-virgin olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and saute until the brown and the fat is rendered.

Remove from the oven, garnish with scallions and serve with chips for dipping.
