What You’ll Need 🌶️

1 package chorizo
1 diced green pepper
1 large white onion diced
1 seeded and minced jalapeño
1 8oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon blended chipotle pepper in adobe sauce
1 can red beans blended in juice
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon tajin with lime
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
Valentina hot sauce
Juice and zest of one lime

Topping:
Monterey Jack cheese
Queso fresco

Pro Tip: You can probably just use a taco packet instead of all these spices. Cholula Chipotle works great!

🔥How To Make The Magic

1️⃣ Brown the chorizo over medium heat until it’s sizzling and rendering that beautiful fat. Flavor foundation = set.

2️⃣ Toss in onion, pepper, and jalapeño. Mix it up and cook 3–5 minutes until soft and fragrant.

3️⃣ Add chipotle, cream cheese, and a can of blended beans. Let the cream cheese melt into everything like magic. 🧀

4️⃣ Hit it with your spices and a splash of Valentina hot sauce. Give it a good stir. 🌶️

5️⃣ Fold in the drained black beans and mix until everything is rich and combined.

6️⃣ Top with plenty of cheese, slide into a 425°F oven, and bake until golden, bubbly, and impossible to ignore. 🔥🧀

🌮 Taco Tuesday Pro Tip:

Go with a Cast Iron skillet for the dip. It keeps everything hot and gives a vibe to serve your crew.
