Ingredients

• 8 oz Mexican-style pork chorizo
• 1 ½ lbs white American cheese, cubed (ensure it’s gluten-free if needed)
• 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained

Optional Garnish:

• Fresh Pico de Gallo (tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice)
• Chopped cilantro

For Serving:

• Tortilla chips
• Fresh veggies or crusty bread

Instructions

1. Cook the Chorizo:
   • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the chorizo until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
   • Transfer the cooked chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Place additional paper towels on top to absorb any remaining fat.
2. Melt the Cheese and Tomatoes:
   • In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the cubed white American cheese and the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid).
   • Microwave the mixture in 1-minute increments, stirring between each interval, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
   • Stir the drained chorizo into the melted cheese mixture until well incorporated.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the dip immediately in a skillet or transfer to a crockpot set to warm to keep the queso creamy and hot.
   • If the dip thickens over time, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
5. Optional Garnish:
   • Top with fresh Pico de Gallo, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
6. Enjoy:
   • Serve with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or crusty bread for dipping.
