Oh. My. Wow.

I think I just created my new favorite dip.

I’m a big dipper (check out my Low Carb Cinnamon Cheesecake Dip for a dessert dip!), and I love to skip the chips with Pork Rinds (don’t we all?) but a lot of pre-made dips are way too high in carbs for the average Keto eater.

The idea for this recipe came just a couple of weeks ago when I was still pregnant with Maya (spoiler alert: if you haven’t heard the news yet…she’s here!!).  We went out to get dinner at our favorite Mexican place to try to kind of help things along…(Mexican food getting labor started may just be an old wive’s tale, but it sure is a delicious one!) and out of the blue my husband ordered a side of Chorizo dip.

It looked good. It tasted AMAZING. But I knew that we could make it even better ourselves.

If you haven’t tried Chorizo, you’re definitely missing out. It’s the star of this recipe, and one of my new favorite things!

Chorizo is a highly seasoned, spicy sausage that from Spain or Mexico. It’s not quite like anything I’d ever tried…but I fell in love INSTANTLY.

You can get it at any Walmart, and it only comes to 1 carb per serving.

This recipe is very easy to make and only requires Monterry Jack Cheese, Chorizo, Jalapenos, Scallions, and Cilantro.

One thing to definitely keep in mind when you’re putting this recipe together is that pan-cooked Chorizo can make a LOT of grease…like…too much, even for someone enjoying a Low Carb, High Fat Diet. So be sure to strain it before you bake it!

    Would this keep in a small crock pot if I just skipped baking it and brought it to work? I’d plug it in for a few hours on low. Please say yes, it’s my nightshift group’s weekend to bring in a potluck and this looks so delicious!

      I think that would work! 🙂 Just make sure you cook it in the skillet first and drain the grease
