Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Mexican Dip is a spicy queso dip made with chorizo, onions, jalapenos, and Mexican cheese that is perfect for parties and holiday entertaining!

Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Mexican Dip

What Is Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Mexican Dip (Queso)

This Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeño Mexican Dip is a creamy, cheesy, spicy Mexican cheese dip that makes a perfect Mexican appetizer for your Mexican dinner or Cinco De Mayo party or any party for that matter! If you love our Mexican Goulash, you’ll love this Cheesy Chorizo Mexican Dip!

In my first job out of college, back when I did not cook, one of my coworkers always made the best queso at office parties. We loved to find any excuse to have an office party.

However, there were a few rules for these parties. The first and most important rule was that no one other than Bonnie was allowed to bring the queso dip to the party.

She kept the recipe a secret, but years later, after experimenting with different recipes, I figured out that her secret ingredient to her queso dip was chorizo! It added such a delicious, robust, savory flavor to the queso.

Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Mexican Dip

What is in Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Mexican Dip?

This Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Mexican Dip is so bold and delicious yet only has a few ingredients:

  1. Chorizo – I used Cacique® Ranchero® Pork Chorizo, but you could use their Ranchero® Beef Chorizo, or for a vegetarian version, try the boldly spiced Cacique® Soy Chorizo!
  2. Cheese – If you were wondering what type of Cheese to use for this queso, I used the following 2 types of cheeses for more depth of flavor and texture.
    1. Cacique® Oaxaca Part-Skim Milk Cheese – (pronounced Wuh-HAH-kuh) – a semi-soft, white artisan cheese made from cow’s milk, similar to Mozzarella but with a better “melt.”
    2. Cacique® Manchego Part-Ski Milk Cheese – Cacique®’s Manchego has a nutty flavor and thick, creamy texture. It has the tangy taste of a Colby. Shred this cheese and add it to the top of this dip or slice or cube to serve with fruit or crackers.
  3. Sour Cream – but not just any sour cream. I used Cacique® Spicy Jalapeno Mexican Style Sour Cream, a Mexican-style sour cream infused with spicy Jalapeño flavor, that perfectly balances the flavor and spicy heat.
  4. Onion – Chop up 1/2 an onion and cook with the chorizo.
  5. Jalapenos – Dice 1 to 2 jalapenos (depending on how spicy you like it) and cook with the onion and chorizo.

Cacique® Cheeses, Flavored Sour Creams and Chorizo offer a variety of flavors to make it easy for you to enjoy the authentic Mexican flavors in your recipes without any additional effort.

What To Serve With Cheesy Chorizo Jalapeno Dip (Queso)

  • 7-Layer Mexican Dip – is a 7-layer dip with Refried Beans, Cacique® Ranchero® Beef Chorizo, Guacamole, Cacique® Cilantro Lime Mexican Style Sour Cream, Chopped Tomatoes, I used this pico de Gallo recipe, Sliced Black Olives, Cacique® Cotija Cheese, and Chopped Cilantro (to garnish.)
  • Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas – take quesadillas to a whole new level with bacon and ranch flavors.
  • Easy Enchiladas Suizas – creamy, cheesy, slightly spicy white chicken enchiladas made with sour cream, mozzarella cheese, salsa verde, chicken, and corn tortillas that are perfect for a Cinco De Mayo party.
  • Homemade Mexican Rice –  or Spanish Rice, with its bold Mexican flavors, will make your taste buds do a salsa dance, which makes it a perfect side dish.
  • Charro Beans – by House of Nash Eats – also known as frijoles charros or “cowboy beans”, are a traditional Mexican side dish that is made by cooking dried pinto beans long and slow until soft, with onion, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, and meat.
  • Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars – inspired by the Mexican dessert called sopapillas, have a sweet, creamy cheesecake filling tucked between 2 crescent roll pastry sheets, and are topped with butter, cinnamon, and sugar and drizzled with honey.

      Hi Linda,

      Yes, you can use regular sour cream in the dip instead of Jalapeno flavored kind.

      Thanks,

      Michele
