Ingredients
For the seasoned sour cream layer:
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ whole lime, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, homemade or store bought
For the guacamole layer:
- 2 large avocados
- ¼ large red onion, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 whole limes, juiced
Remaining Layers:
- 12 ounces chunky salsa of choice, drained of excess water
- 6 ounces shredded cheese of choice
- 4.5 ounces pickled jalapeños, sliced
- 2 packages Kiolbassa Smoked Meats Chorizo, casings removed, cooked and crumbled then drained of fat (Two 12-ounce packages)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes cut into pieces
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat, and add the crumbled chorizo. Cook until completely done and browned, about 12-15 minutes, then drain the excess fat from the chorizo and set chorizo aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, juice of ½ a lime, and minced garlic. Taste, then add salt and pepper if desired. Layer your seasoned sour cream layer in the bottom of a 6 cup glass baking dish.
- Add a layer of chunky salsa, then a layer of shredded cheese.
- For the guacamole layer, combine avocado, remaining lime juice, salt, pepper and minced red onion and mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Spread the guacamole over top of the cheese layer.
- Now layer on pickled jalapeños, and top with cooked chorizo. Finish it all off with diced tomatoes, lettuce shreds and cilantro. Dig in and serve immediately!
Notes
- Keep in the fridge and eat within 3 days of preparing.
- Can be prepared ahead of time, but be sure to leave off lettuce, tomatoes and cilantro until it's time to serve, or they will become soggy.
- Make sure to drain the excess fat from the chorizo before adding to the dip, or else it will make the dip soggy.
