Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chorizo, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no raw pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Drain excess fat if needed, leaving about 1 tbsp. Reduce heat to medium.

  3. Step 3

    Add cream cheese and stir until melted, ~60 seconds. The mixture will look broken; that's normal.

  4. Step 4

    Add white cheddar and pepper jack, stirring constantly, until fully melted and smooth, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the tomatoes and chiles (drain excess liquid if they're very wet). Cook 1 minute to warm through.

  6. Step 6

    Top with sliced jalapeño and cilantro. Serve hot with tortilla chips or warm flour tortillas.
