1

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the diced onion. Sauté for five to six minutes.
2

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.
3

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.

Expert Tips

If you prefer a dip that’s not spicy, you can prepare this recipe without the jalapeños. To garnish, use diced tomatoes and cilantro instead.
