This chorizo and chipotle baked queso dip is a new take on the delicious Mexican queso fundido combining Mexican cheese along with cream cheese for a creamier and easier to scoop dip that is gooey, spicy and bold chorizo and chipotle flavors.

We love football season as it gives our family a great excuse to get together and celebrate each game sharing great food and sometimes even some fun games.  Food is such an important part of our culture and that is why we always try to incorporate flavors and ingredients that make us feel more connected and bring us closer together as we watch the football games.

Today I want to share with you a delicious baked chorizo and chipotle queso dip recipe. A cross between the classic artichoke and spinach baked dip this recipe combines cream cheese with Cotija and Oaxaca cheese (you can also use Romano and Mozzarella) with onions, sweet bell peppers and the bold flavor of chorizo. The dip gets a little bit of a kick from the smoky chipotle peppers in adobo.
