Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 8 ounces Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 milliliters
- 1 onion peeled and diced, small
- 2 garlic peeled and minced, cloves
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo removed from casing, fresh
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 15 ounce diced tomatoes 425 gram can
- 2 ounces baby spinach a couple large handfuls, fresh, 57 grams
- 1 tomato chopped, for garnish, optional
- cilantro for garnish, optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- In a medium bowl, fold together the cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and sour cream. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, drizzle olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Crumble in the fresh chorizo and cook, stirring often and breaking up with a spoon into small pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, followed by the diced tomatoes and spinach.
- Reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly, until no longer bubbling.
- Add 3/4 of the cheese mixture to the chorizo, stirring until melted and evenly blended. Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the chorizo mixture to one larger or multiple individual oven-safe baking dishes. Top evenly with dollops of the remaining 1/4 cheese.
- Place the baking dishes on a rimmed baking sheet (just in case any cheese bubbles over) and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, 25-30 minutes.
- Serve the dip warm with toasted bread, crackers, or tortilla chips.
