Chorizo Fundido
Description
Chef John's spicy and creamy baked dip is made with fresh chorizo, bell pepper, chiles, and three kinds of cheese. Serve with tortilla chips.
Ingredients
•
8 ounces fresh pork chorizo
•
1/2 cup sliced green onions, white and lighter green parts (green parts reserved)
•
1 red bell pepper, diced
•
2 poblano chile peppers, diced
•
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
•
4 ounces cream cheese
•
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
•
4 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
•
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions
1
Place chorizo, green onions, red bell pepper, poblano chilies, and jalapeno in a cold skillet. Turn heat to medium-high. As skillet comes up to temperature break up chorizo into very small pieces. Continue cooking until sausage is browned and peppers are barely cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. If sausage releases a lot of grease, mop up some with a paper towel.
2
Mix cream cheese, sausage mixture, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and sour cream in a bowl. Transfer to a shallow, heat-proof baking dish.
3
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
4
Broil on high until browned and bubbly, 5 or 6 minutes.
