This ultra-creamy Cheesy Mexican Chorizo Dip is perfect for game night! Always a fan favorite!
I’m comin’ in hot today folks! Hot and spicy!
If you’re a basketball fan, you know March Madness 2019 is about to start.
If you’re not a basketball fan, let me break it down.
March Madness is the Division 1 men’s basketball tournament that includes 67 games over a period of 19 days.
So you know what that means?
We need snackin’ food and lots of it.
So let’s start with this Cheesy Mexican Chorizo Dip.
I’ve been making this dip for more years than I can count.
You’ll only need a handful of ingredients and less than 15 minutes to throw it all together and it’ll disappear faster than fast. Take it from me.
Why?
Because it’s cheesy and creamy, packed with roasted red peppers, green chiles, spicy chorizo and perfect alongside a beer for watching the game!
Grab some tortilla chips and let’s spice things up, shall we?
Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Cheesy Mexican Chorizo Dip Recipe:
This dip tastes delicious without the chorizo too, if you have vegetarian guests.
You can make the dip ahead of time, keep it in the fridge, and then just pop it in the oven when you’re ready.
I love to serve this dip with tortilla chips, but you could also serve it with fresh veggies.
- 8 oz. ground chorizo
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup cheddar jack cheese, shredded
- 4 oz. can chopped green chiles
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. chile powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne powder
- tortilla chips for serving
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 4-cup baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large skillet, cook chorizo over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking up with a spatula as the meat cooks. Remove from pan with slotted spoon and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add chorizo, cheese, green chiles, mayo, roasted red peppers and spices until combined. Spread in prepared dish. Bake for 20-25 until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips.
Hot n spicy?! I LOVE it! Huge dip fan in our home and this one would disappear so so fast! I don’t watch basketball, but would happily come along if this dip was involved ;) Have a fabulous weekend ahead, my friend!
This dip is so tasty Dawn! I’ve been making it for years. Sometimes with the chorizo, sometimes without. Both delicious!
I’m pretty sure my husband would flip for this one! He loves dips and especially ones with spicy sausage :) Can’t wait to try it.
Hope he enjoys it Jennifer!
There are some gatherings on the horizon at our place :-) Keeping this one to spice things up:-)

I was a huge basketball fan when I was younger, but I’ll be honest, now I’m just into March Madness for the food! ;) But really, I’m into most everything if it involves food. LOL! This chorizo dip is EVERYTHING, Mare!! Spicy, cheesy, meaty! Check, check and CHECK!! I could eat a big ‘ole vat of this and call it dinner for sure! Pinned!
I’d enjoy this for dinner too Chey! Gimme all the dip and I’m a happy camper!
Looks like another winner, Mary Ann! And I don’t think I need a game to be able to enjoy all these wonderful flavors!
Thanks so much Chris! Swap ya some for some deep dish pizza?! Deal?
Totally trying this cheesy-mexican-chorizo-dip!!!
Hope you enjoy it Alice!
OMG, Mary Ann! I would need my own bowl for this – I am not sharing! It looks incredible!
It is hard to share Kelly! Take it from one who knows!
So perfect for March Madness!!
We’ll be enjoying this and all the games Matt!
You know I’m in for snack food, but any sport… I’m just not into it. So, thank you for breaking March Madness down for me :D I needed a lesson! But if it involves food (and beer/cocktails), I know it’ll be a good time! The flavors look over the top, Mary Ann!
This dip have been a favorite for years at our house Traci. Sometimes I make it without the chorizo when I’ve got vegetarian friends coming over. Just as delish!
Dips like this are irresistible Mary Ann. I can never stop once I start eating them.
I’m with ya Gerlinde!
Any recipe with lots of cheese and I’m in, Mary Ann – I will be making the veggie version of this! Love that it is full of flavor and how quick and easy it is – my kind of recipe!
It’s just as delicious without the chorizo!
So perfect for easy entertaining!! Love chorizo!!
Me too Natasha!
Amazing flavors going on in this dip! I can see why it disappears so fast!
Thanks so much Lindsay! It’s one of our game day favorites!
