Ingredients

8 ounces Mexican-style chorizo, casings removed
½ cup chopped onion
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
½ cup chopped tomato
3 teaspoons ground cumin
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
3 cups grated Oaxaca cheese or mozzarella
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 large bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thickly sliced, for serving
8 stalks celery, cut into 3-inch pieces, for serving

Directions

HEAT a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chorizo, onion, garlic, and jalapeños and cook, stirring, until chorizo is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato and cumin and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cream.

Slowly add the cheese, a handful at a time, stirring continuously to keep it from seizing. When the cheese has almost completely melted, remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let rest for 1 minute to finish melting.

Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with sliced bell peppers and/or celery for dipping.
