Author Cesar Diaz

Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz. package reduced fat cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup low fat or fat free Mexican crema (can be replaced by regular sour cream)
  • cup grated Queso Cotija can be replaced by Romano cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Queso Oaxaca cheese divided (can be replaced by mozzarella cheese)
  • ¼ cup onion diced
  • ¼ cup red green and yellow sweet peppers diced
  • ½ cup chorizo crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  3. In a medium pan sautee the onions for a couple of minutes until translucent.
  4. Add the sweet bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes or until they are soft.
  5. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream and chipotle until smooth.
  6. Stir in the Queso Cotija, ½ cup of Oaxaca cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
  7. Add in the onion and sweet bell pepper mix and the chorizo.
  8. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining ½ cup of Oaxaca cheese.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through. Broil for an additional minute or two to get the cheese more browned, if you prefer.
  10. Serve immediately.
