  • 12 oz Velveeta-style cheese cubed

Method
 

  1. Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through; drain excess grease.
  2. Add butter and onion to the skillet; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Lower heat and add cubed cheese, shredded cheddar, and milk. Stir constantly until smooth.
  4. Mix in green chiles, cumin, and paprika. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer to a slow cooker on warm to keep it melty, or serve from the skillet with chips.
