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.
