🥣 Instructions

Beef chorizo cooking in a black iron skillet.

You start by cooking the chorizo sausage. I’m using a lean beef chorizo, but you can also use one with pork sausage chorizo.

If you’re using pork chorizo, you will end up with a lot of grease. Be sure to drain it, leaving behind at least 1 tablespoon of cooking fat.

Onions cooking in chorizo fat inside a black iron skillet.

Remove the chorizo, and add the diced onion.
Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly oven medium heat.

Flour added to onion in a black iron skillet.

Next add, one tablespoon of white, all-purpose flour.
Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Flour cooking with onions in black iron skillet.

It will look kind of clumpy. I highly advise to work quickly. That means, having everything ready to go before you start cooking.

Substitutions and Additions

For a creamier texture, and half a block of cream cheese.
If you like it spicier, add a can of green chilies.
Or for really spicy, add 2 diced jalapenos.
Diced tomatoes are also a good addition. Add them here with the flour.

Milk added to onions in black iron skillet.

Then slowly and gradually, add a splash of milk.
Stir constantly. It will start to bubble.

Add the cheese. I used 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack.
Lastly, return the chorizo to the pan. Stir to combine… and done!

It started melting quickly. That’s why I was only able to get 1 cup of the cheese in the picture.

You can also use Queso Oaxaca, pepper jack cheese, or Mexican cheeses blend.
