This easy Chorizo Queso Skillet is loaded with vegetables, meat, and cheese! This dish requires just one pan and is ready in less than 20 minutes!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound ground chorizo
- 1/2 cup white onion chopped
- 1/2 cup orange bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
- 2 fresh jalapenos seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 10 ounce can tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or a mix of cheddar and American
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a large skillet brown the chorizo over medium heat, breaking it up as you go. Drain off the grease and set the meat aside.
-
In the same skillet saute the onion, peppers, and garlic over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peppers are tender.
-
In the same skillet add the heavy cream, cream cheese, undrained can of tomatoes, and shredded cheddar. Stir the mixture as it melts and if the heat seems a bit too high cut it down to medium-low. Allow the cheese to melt nice and slow so the texture is perfectly smooth.
-
Add the chorizo back to the skillet and stir to coat. Allow the queso about 5 minutes over low heat to warm the chorizo back up.
-
When ready to serve top with all of your favorite fixings such as shredded cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, and green onions!
