Chorizo Dip
Description
This chorizo dip combines rich, cooked chorizo crumbles with sweet caramelized onions and a creamy base of cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mozzarella adds melty texture, while chopped green onions provide a fresh, mild bite. The mixture is poured into a baking dish and baked until golden and bubbling.
The cooking of chorizo ensures a smoky spiced flavor, complemented by the onions softened through caramelization, bringing out their natural sweetness. The creamy cheeses bind the ingredients, creating a thick dip suitable for spreading or scooping.
Serve warm for parties or casual snacks, accompanied by toasted baguette slices or crunchy tortilla chips for texture contrast and ease of dipping. The dish offers a combination of meatiness, creaminess, and gentle herb notes.
