Ingredients
Scale
- 7–8 ounces chorizo, casings removed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 1 (4-ounce) can Old El Paso chopped green chiles

Instructions
- Saute chorizo in a large saute pan over high heat until cooked through and crispy, about 10 minutes, crumbling and stirring with a spoon constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Add the evaporated milk, and whisk until combined and smooth. Add in half of the cheese, and stir until melted. Repeat with the second half of the cheese. Stir in the green chiles, tomatoes, and cooked chorizo until combined.
- Taste the queso, and season with your desired amount of salt. Serve immediately with chips.
