This Cowboy Queso Dip is the best party or game day appetizer. This quick and easy cheese dip features chorizo, black beans, and cheese for a great combo.
Begin by adding your chorizo to a large skillet (I like using an iron skillet). Diced Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce if using then add into the chorizo. Finally adding in taco seasoning, salt and pepper and cook over medium heat. Stir and chop the sausage as you go into small pieces to ensure it cooks all the way through, about 7-10 minutes. After the sausage has cooked through drain the fat and return everything to the skillet.
Once the chorizo is cooked, add the cheeses, Rotel, and milk and stir over low heat until the cheese is melted. If the queso dip is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
After the cheese has melted, add in the rinsed and drained corn and black beans, lime juice and stir until combined.
Once the dip is combined, remove from heat and serve immediately topped with additional extras and served with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
Leftover Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Re-heat in the microwave, skillet or crockpot before enjoying.Crockpot Option: If serving at a party store the cooked dip in a crockpot on warm to ensure it will stay warm and melted. Stir often so it won't burn on the bottom.Chorizo Note:Generic spicy sausage will work as well, just make sure you do not use Italian Sausage. That will mess with the overall flavor of the dip.
