Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chorizo peeled (if in a casing), cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup white onion diced
  • 1 glove garlic diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup heavy cream divided
  • 16 oz white American cheese cubed or grated
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 3 cups tortilla chips

Method
 

  1. Heat the peeled chorizo in 1 tablespoon of canola oil until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium sauce pan, add the olive oil and onion. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Be careful and do not let the garlic burn. Add ½ cup of water and scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add ¼ cup of the heavy cream and simmer for one minute. Add the cheese and stir every 30 seconds.
  4. Once the cheese has melted, add the remaining cream and stir until combined. Stir in the chorizo and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the lime juice and stir.
  5. Place in a serving bowl and top with cilantro and serve with chips.
