Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup white onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 lb fresh Mexican chorizo
  • 1/2 whole jalapeño, finely chopped
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • 1 whole jalapeño, sliced for garnishing

Steps

    Next, remove the skin from the chorizo before placing in the skillet. Continue cooking the mixture while using a fork to ‘break-up’ the pieces of chorizo. Then mix-in the chopped jalapeño.

    After two minutes have passed, stir in the cheese. Cook for an additional two minutes or until the cheese has melted. Transfer your finished dip to a serving dish and garnish with the jalapeño slices. Serve hot alongside your favorite tortilla chips.
