Sizzling Chorizo and Cheddar Queso Dip

Ingredients

- 2 cups (8 ounces) Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 chipotle chile, chopped finely
- 8 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 4 green onions, sliced thinly (whites and greens separated)
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chorizo:
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet and set aside.

2. Mix the Cheese and Cornstarch:
- In a medium bowl, toss the shredded Cheddar cheese with the cornstarch until the cheese is evenly coated. This will help thicken the dip.

3. Combine Ingredients in the Skillet:
- In the same skillet used for the chorizo, combine the evaporated milk and chopped chipotle chile. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.

4. Melt the Cheese:
- Gradually add the cheese-cornstarch mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Ensure the heat remains low to prevent the cheese from seizing.

5. Add Final Ingredients:
- Stir in the cooked chorizo, diced tomatoes, and the white parts of the sliced green onions. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

6. Serve:
- Remove from heat and transfer the queso dip to a serving dish. Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions.

Enjoy this rich, smoky, and spicy queso dip with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or your favorite dippers.
