SPICY CHORIZO CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Brown the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until it is slightly crispy on the edges. If your chorizo is very fatty, drain some of it off before the next step (leave a couple of tablespoons of fat in the skillet).

• Pour the evaporated milk into the skillet. Stir and cook until heated through.
• Turn the heat under the skillet down to low. Begin adding the cheese, one handful at a time, stirring until it is fully melted in before adding the next handful.
• Once all the cheese has melted into the dip, turn the heat off. Garnish with sliced green onion and serve!
