    In a large bowl, combine Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until the cheeses are evenly distributed.

    Add the cooked chorizo and diced jalapeños to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
