Now that it is football season, my dad has been asking for me to come up with appetizer recipes! Dips are the best appetizer out there...easy to make and eat! I have started to cook with more chorizo lately, and have been loving the smoky and spicy flavor. Combine that with cheese and a few other ingredients, and you've got something extra special!
I like to serve this with tortilla chips but the recipe I adapted it from (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/baked-cheese-with-chorizo-recipe.html) is served on flour tortillas, which I think would taste great! Give it a try yourself!

Ingredients:
-12 oz. raw chorizo
-1/2 onion, chopped
-1 garlic clove
-1 teaspoon chili powder
-1 heaping cup shredded mozzerella cheese
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-Chopped scallion, for topping, optional
Directions:
Preheat the broiler.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until translucent. Add the chorizo back into the pan and add in the chili powder, stir to combine.
Grease a 9 by 9 baking dish. Place the meat mixture on the bottom and top with the cheese. Place in the broiler for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. The cheese should be somewhat golden and bubbly. Top with the optional scallion. Serve immediately. Enjoy! :)
