Method

Preparation of Chorizo

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Cheese Mixture Preparation

  1. 2

    Combine the Cheeses

    In a medium bowl, combine the Monterey Jack cheese, queso blanco, and cream cheese. Mix well until all cheeses are evenly combined.

  2. 3

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle in the garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are well incorporated into the cheese mixture.

Combining Chorizo and Cheese

  1. 4

    Mix Chorizo with Cheese

    Add the cooked chorizo to the cheese mixture. Stir well until the chorizo is evenly distributed throughout the cheese.

Cooking the Choriqueso

  1. 5

    Melt the Mixture

    Transfer the chorizo and cheese mixture to a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Place it under a broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
