Cost: $14.74, $1.47 per Serving
Ingredients
- 9 ounces Mexican Chorizo casings removed
- 1 can Chopped Green Chilis 8 ounces
- 1 pound Monterey Jack Cheese freshly grated
- 1 pound Mozzarella Cheese freshly grated
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat a 10-12 inch oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, until fully browned.
- Drain any excess grease, leaving the chorizo in the skillet. Reserve about ? cup of the cooked chorizo for topping.
- Stir the chopped green chiles into the remaining chorizo until evenly combined.
- Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chorizo mixture, then top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just beginning to brown around the edges. Be careful not to overbake.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately top with the reserved chorizo and the pico de gallo.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freshly grated cheese melts much smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
- You can substitute Pepper Jack cheese for some of the Monterey Jack if you'd like a spicier dip.
- This dip is best served immediately while the cheese is hot and gooey.
