Choriqueso is a classic warm Mexican cheese dip topped with chorizo. Add a touch of cilantro for an extra kick, and serve with your favorite chip or warmed tortillas. Whether you enjoy choriqueso as an appetizer or a topping for your main course, this recipe is sure to satisfy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mexican chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
- ¼ white onion, diced
- 1 chopped garlic clove
- 1 diced jalapeno
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup cubed Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 ½ cup cubed Oaxaca cheese
- Warm flour tortillas or tortilla chips
Instructions
- In a cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat, brown the chorizo until cooked through. With a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo, leaving 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet, and place on a towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, cook jalapeno, onion, and garlic on low heat. Season with salt, stirring occasionally until carmelized, about 6 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and mix the chorizo with the vegetables. Remove half of the mixture and set it aside.
- Add the cheeses on top of the remaining mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the second half of the chorizo mixture over the cheese.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees or until completely melted. Serve and enjoy hot!
