Easy Skillet Queso Dip Recipe
Description
The dish begins by cooking chorizo until fully browned, then setting it aside. A roux is created in the same skillet by whisking flour into olive oil, then milk is added and cooked until thickened, forming a creamy base.
Chorizo and multiple cheeses, including Oaxaca, cheddar, and Mexican blend, are stirred into the sauce and heated until well combined. The dip is topped with extra cheddar and placed under a broiler briefly to develop a golden, bubbly surface. Once removed and cooled slightly, it is paired with fresh Pico de Gallo for a fresh, tangy contrast and served with corn chips.
This queso dip combines spicy sausage flavors with melted cheese richness and fresh salsa brightness, well suited for gatherings or casual snacking.
