Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Dip

• 8 oz chorizo, casings removed

• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin

5. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish (8×8 or similar). Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden top, switch to broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Craving a crowd-pleasing appetizer that's anything but boring? This Grilled Chorizo & Pinto Bean Dip is your new game-day MVP. It's smoky, creamy, and comes together in under 30 minutes.

Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Dip

• 8 oz fresh chorizo, casings removed

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and charred in spots, about 5-7 minutes. Tip: Don't stir too often—let it sit to get a good sear.
2. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate, leaving about 1 tbsp of fat in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, scraping up any browned bits.
3. Add the drained pinto beans to the skillet and mash about half of them with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture. Tip: Mashing right in the pan saves a bowl and adds body.
4. Stir in the cooked chorizo, sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the cheese melts and the dip is heated through. Tip: Add the cheese gradually to prevent clumping.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and half the cilantro. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
6. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips or crunchy vegetables.

Really, the combination of smoky chorizo and creamy pinto beans is irresistible. The lime cuts through the richness, and the charred bits add depth. Serve it warm with tortilla chips or spoon it over tacos for a quick weeknight meal.
