How to Make Velveeta Cheese Dip with Chorizo
Cook Chorizo
Cook the chorizo sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once fully cooked, discard any excess fat.
Add Velveeta and other ingredients
Add the Velveeta cheese cubes into the chorizo and mix until melted. Then, add the rest of the ingredients and mix again.
Serve immediately
Serve the dip immediately right from the pan or transfer into a serving dish.
Serving this dip at a party?
If you plan to serve this dip at a party or have it out for a longer period of time, we recommend transferring it into a crock pot and keeping it on low so that it doesn’t get too thick.
Dip too thick?
This dip is meant to be thick. But, if it’s too thick for your liking, you can add a few tablespoons of whole milk to thin things out.
PS: as the dip sits out, it will continue to get thicker. So, you can always throw it back on the burner to loosen it up again.

Variations
Swap the pico: don’t have pico de Gallo? Simply swap it for some salsa.
Use a different meat: not big into chorizo sausage? Feel free to use ground beef instead or no meat at all.
Add some heat: looking to make things extra spicy? Add minced jalapeño, green chiles, or use a spicy pico de gallo.
Storage
Store leftover Velveeta cheese dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat: transfer the dip into a small saucepan and add a few tablespoons of whole milk. Reheat over medium heat until melty and delicious.

Tips & Notes
- This dip is THICK! To thin it out add more pico with the juices, taco sauce, or a few tablespoons of whole milk.
- Serving this Velveeta cheese dip at a party? We recommend transferring it into a crockpot and keeping it on low during the duration of the time it is sitting out to prevent it from thickening too much.
- Pico typically has onions and cilantro in it. Salsa can be subbed for pico, but we would suggest an increase in the fresh cilantro from ½ cup to 1 cup.
- This dip would also be a great base for a burrito.
