Cheese Dip

Method

Cheese Dip

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the cheese is melted and the dip is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and serve warm.

Guacamole

  1. 4

    Mash the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth.

  2. 5

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in lime juice, diced tomato, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix until combined but still chunky.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips or fresh veggies.

Choriqueso or Bola Chile

  1. 7

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chorizo sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Poblano Pepper

    Stir in the diced poblano pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.

  3. 9

    Add Cheese

    Reduce heat to low, then add shredded Monterey Jack cheese and stir until melted and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Transfer the choriqueso to a serving dish and enjoy warm with tortilla chips.
