Every now and then I crave a good spicy queso dip. Not the kind that is made with a few different types of fancy cheeses (although I love that too). I am talking about the kind that is made with a big block of Velveeta.

Spicy chorizo and fresh jalapenos give this spicy queso dip its kick!

It’s perfect served with tortilla chips but you could also serve it with crackers, pita chips or even use it as a topping for baked potatoes.

If you don’t want all of the spice, feel free to remove the jalapenos completely or use a less spicy pepper instead, such as poblano.

To get a slightly thinner dip, add milk and stir in completely before serving. A little extra milk can also be added when reheating this dip too!

This cheese dip will cool down quickly, making it difficult to scoop. To avoid this, serve in a small crock pot or fondue pot.
