Ingredients
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- 1 serrano chile, seeded, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
- salt
- 8 oz. coarsely grated milk yellow cheddar
- 8 oz. coarsely grated Monterey Jack
- 1 tbsp. flour
- 1 4 oz. link fresh chorizo or hot Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1/2 cup lager
- Tortilla chips
Preparation
Step 1
Mix tomato, chile, and oregano in a small bowl. Season with salt; let salsa stand for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss both cheeses with flour in a medium bowl. Cook chorizo in a medium saucepan over medium heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until it begins to render, about 1 minute. Add onion and continue cooking until chorizo is cooked and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Transfer chorizo mixture to a small bowl; return saucepan to heat. Add beer; simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits. Whisking constantly, add cheese mixture a 1/4 cupful at a time, allowing it to become blended and smooth between additions. Stir in chorizo mixture.
