I have to give credit to this easy delicious dip to Southern Living! This is the grown up version of the Velveeta and Rotel dip that we grew up eating at every celebration and that we still love. This recipe elevates that dip to a different level. It is warm and cheesy and packs a little heat! It is so easy too! Nostalgia abounds with these cheesy concoctions bringing back childhood memories!
What ingredients will you need to make this Touchdown Dip?
- 8 oz. fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed
- 1 (12-oz.) can evaporated milk
- 1 lb. white American cheese, chopped or torn
- 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (about 4 oz.)
- 3 (4-oz.) cans diced green chiles, drained
- Sliced jalapeño chile, fresh cilantro leaves, pickled red onions, and crumbled queso fresco, for garnish
- Tortilla chips and green hot sauce (such as El Yucateco), for serving
- I added a little taco meat and diced tomatoes or color; however, not a part of the original recipe
What are the steps?
- Gather all ingredients.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or other skillet of your choice over medium. Add chorizo; cook, stirring to crumble, until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; wipe skillet clean.
- Add evaporated milk to the skillet; heat over medium until the edges begin to bubble, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add American and pepper Jack cheeses; cook, stirring constantly, until melted, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in green chiles; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Top with cooked chorizo, jalapeño, cilantro, pickled red onions, and queso fresco. Serve with tortilla chips and hot sauce.
By the way if you are interested in an iron skillet, I love the lodge iron skillet. They come in different sizes and I think they are a must have especially in a Southern Kitchen. Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/4kpCLNI
I have all three of these sizes and love them.
