Ingredients

1 pound ground Chorizo (I like Hatfield for this) or remove casing from Chorizo sausages
1 large poblano, chopped (or a jalapeno or two if you like spicy)
½ cup chopped sweet onion (optional)
1 pound freshly shredded cheeses such as Blanco, American, Pepper Jack, Monterrey Jack, Oaxaca
red pepper flakes to taste
10 or so shakes of Tabasco and a TBS or more of Cholula hot sauce or your fav hot sauce
¾ cup heavy cream plus ¼ cup water or 1 cup half and half
½ cup chopped tomato
2 TBS cilantro
scallions (optional)

Instructions

Cook chorizo in a skillet until done, remove from pan and set aside covered with foil.
sauté peppers and onions (if using) for a few minutes in the same pan in the remnants of the chorizo grease. Remove and set aside covered in foil.
In the same pan, add your cheeses, red pepper flakes, Tabasco, hot sauce and heavy cream and heat over medium until just ,melted. Stirring often. Do not bring to a simmer or boil.
Add in some of the chorizo and stir until combined.
Scrape into serving bowl or cast iron pan, top with chorizo, tomatoes, cilantro, peppers, onions, red pepper flakes, scallions and what ever else you may enjoy.
Serve immediately and enjoy with tortilla chips.

Notes

You can enjoy this vegetarian as well by leaving out the chorizo. For extra heat add more red pepper flake or char up some poblanos and cop them up for a delicious topping.
